JAKARTA - Full confidence was expressed by UEFA Vice President Zbigniew Kazimierz Boniek against Napoli. The Polish football legend said the Partenopei could win the Scudetto and win the Champions League.
Luciano Spalletti's team did start the Italian Serie A competition this season brilliantly. Ahead of the 2022 World Cup break they are eight points ahead of AC Milan at the top of the standings.
Not only that, the Partenopei also made sure to qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League after topping the group stage above Liverpool.
Seeing how Napoli's process to this day, Boniek said he was happy with Spalletti's way of coaching because he always focused on important things and knew what his team wanted. That way it's not impossible for the Scudetto title to be theirs.
''I saw him (Spalletti) will win Coach of the Year while delivering his team to win the Scudetto at the end of this season,'' Boniek was quoted as saying by Football Italia, Wednesday, December 28.
The former Juventus and AS Roma star was also impressed by Napoli's way of looking for substitutes for veterans who left, such as Kalidou Koulibaly, Lorenzo Insigne, and Dries Mertens. They have smart tactics by bringing in Kim Min-jae and Kvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Cara itu dirasa bisa membuat Napoli tampil lebih kuat dalam semua kompetisi yang mereka berikuti. Pada keikutan Napoli dalam perburuan trophy Si Kuping Besar, Boniek pun yakin bahwa pasukan Spalliek bakal memberikan kejutan dengan memenangkan gelar.
'But with what's happening off the pitch, it will be difficult for them (Napoli competitors) to get up. I'll say this too, I think they can win the Champions League,' said Boniek.
