Walter Mazzarri insists Napoli are strong contenders to win the Scudetto – Serie A news
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 coach Walter Mazzarri insists his side has a very good chance of winning the Serie A title in the ongoing 2010-11 season.
He claimed that the race for the title will go down to the last match of the League and it was very hard to predict the winner at this point of time.
Napoli currently sit in third place on the Serie A table with 59 points, 3 adrift of leaders AC Milan. Inter Milan are in second place, one point ahead of the Naples side. The Partenopei will hope that the two Milanese giants play a draw in the Derby della
Madonnina next week which will further boost their chances of winning the Serie A.

The manager revealed his side will fight until the end and anything can happen in the final eight games of the season.
“I believe that the Scudetto will be decided on the final day and we will be there fighting for it to the end. None of us have ever been in this situation before. My job is not to put too much pressure on the lads, as that could be counter-productive. There
are 24 points up for grabs and anything can still happen,” Mazzarri said.
The former Sampdoria manager hailed his strike force comprising of Edison Cavani, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ezequiel-Lavezzi-c13073 and Marek Hamsik and was all praise for the attacking mindset the team plays with.
“Napoli are a mosaic who play as a team unit and slot together. The front three may finalise the chances and are most representative, but it is thanks to those behind them that they can do that,” the manager concluded.
The Azzurri play fifth placed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan clash in the Derby della Madonnina at the San Siro.
Napoli still has to play Udinese, Inter Milan and Juventus in the remaining games. They have the home advantage against Udinese and Inter whereas the clash against Juventus will be played at the Stadio Olimpico in Turin.
