Bereszynski: “Napoli gave me a surprise, I’ll know how to repay him”

NAPLES – First declarations as an Azzurri player for Bartozs Bereszynski, who has just arrived on loan with the right to buy (1 million and 800 thousand euros) from Sampdoria. “The call from Napoli was a wonderful surprise: the strongest team in Italy wanted me. I’m not here to make an appearance, I want to give my contribution. I know that Giovanni Di Lorenzo is in front of me, who he is a great player, but I can still grow a lot. Returning to Italy after the World Cup with this confidence was a wonderful thing. For me it is an honor to be here. I am very happy, improving was my goal, I am part of a group super and made up of many good guys,” the Polish defender said on official radio. “I immediately spoke to Spalletti and he explained the first tactical moves to perform. I remained on the bench at Marassi, but it was still a special match against my former team, because I was there for six years. Winning for us is it was definitely important.”

However, the Scudetto challenge on Friday evening at the Maradona is just around the corner. “I’ve known Zielinski for years and he had already explained to me what it means to play against Juventus, in a stadium that will be packed for the occasion. Napoli’s goal is to win, without making calculations. Piotr also told me how find this city well. I’m the third Pole to arrive here in recent years and I’m very happy, I really like the place. Going +10 in the standings? It would be nice, but let’s think match by match, we need to be concentrated and be aware of be the strongest”. A sort of Polish derby will also be staged in Fuorigrotta. “Milik? He’s a teammate from the national team, but during the match he won’t be our friend, the same goes for Szczesny. It will be a two against two, we hope to be happier at the end of the match against the black and whites”.
