The Partenopei boss thanks the fans for helping them edge closer to final Champions League spot; explains http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ezequiel-Lavezzi-c13073 snub in the game against Palermo
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 registered a convincing 2-0 win over Palermo in the round 36 game of the season at Stadio San Paolo on Tuesday, May 1.
The victory puts the Azzurri in pole position to claim the final UEFA Champions League spot. They now sit three points clear at the third spot, and will look to continue their dream European journey next season too.
The Partenopei side has had a topsy-turvy campaign so far, and qualifying for the Champions league for next season looked impossible at one stage. However, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lazio-c39775 and Udinese’s poor form of late has allowed them to grab the opportunity
with both hands.
Mazzarri has thanked the Napoli fans for their contribution in helping them claim the final Champions League spot, and has urged them to continue supporting them in the final two games of the season too.
However, he still thinks that Lazio are favourites to qualify for Europe, and have an advantage over them.
While talking to the reporters, Mazzarri said:
“I want to thank the fans for giving us a big hand today and I am convinced many of them will flock to Bologna, because we’ve got to win them all. It depends on Lazio, though, as they have the advantage in a head-to-head record
with us.”
“The Champions League is important for us and we are a young side who could benefit from this experience next year. Obviously it also takes a lot out of you, Milan’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Adriano-c3773 Galliani said as much as 7-8 points. Add reaching the
Coppa Italia Final and it explains our season.” Added the manager
Ezequiel Lavezzi was once again missing from the starting line-up, and Mazzarri has explained the striker’s snub. He explained that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Goran-Pandev-c15161 has been in superb form of late, and Lavezzi is still struggling with injury.
Napoli have only two matches left to play in the season; with a trip to Bologna on Sunday, and they will host Siena to wrap up their 2011/12 campaign.
