Napoli, Insigne: "It could be our year for Scudetto. We made a mistake underestimating Shaktar in the Champions League"

Napoli winger Lorenzo Insigne could be the exception to the saying "no one is a prophet in his own land". The 26 year-old Italian started playing football in Frattamaggiore, a part of Naples municipality, and he is now one of the city's heroes. "I live in Frattamaggiore because I wanted to stay near to my family, they helped me to become who I am now", Insigne says, inteviewed by La Gazzetta dello Sport. "Playing in the San Paolo was my childhood dream and I'm very proud of being able to make it come true. For a Neapolitan is always difficult to play with Napoli. Staying here forever? You can never know. Maybe tomorrow our President wakes up with the idea of selling me...in football decision are made together, I live day by day. We know that this could be our year for Scudetto. The level of the top teams in Serie A is high, it will be fun. We made a mistake underestimating Shaktar in the first leg of the Champions League group. But now we have Europa League which is also a fascinating competition".
