The midfielder is now the Partenopei’s all-time top-scorer, having beaten Diego Maradona’s record before Serie A went on its winter break.
“I had been waiting for that 115th goal to match Maradona, and I got it in the Torino match,” Hamsik told Slovakian outlet Pravda.
“A lot had been written about it and everyone was looking forward to that moment. When it came it was beautiful.
“It was the same when I got my 116th goal against Sampdoria. When 60,000 fans stood and screamed my name at the San Paolo I get chills.
“It’s something unrepeatable, I’ll remember it for the rest of my life.
“The appearance record and 100 Serie A goals? There are always other challenges which motivate me. I’d be delighted if I achieved them, it would mean I was still successful in representing the club.
“Then after me someone else will come along who will beat me. I’ve got no doubts about my future, I’m a Napoli player and I’m not going to leave.
“Now I’m concentrating on finally bringing the Scudetto to Naples, that’s my main objective.
“Last year we were the best team from the spring onward, now we’re on an incredible run. Having lost only one match at the halfway point is an incredible record.
“I believe we can keep this up and celebrate the Scudetto.
“It’s simple, we can’t drop points. Of course it’s easy to say that than to do it on the pitch. In order to get as many points as possible we’ll need to be good, in particular defensively.
“It’s important that the table has started to take shape a bit, there are no longer five teams separated by two points at the top.
“We’re at the top, then there’s Juventus and the other teams are nine points or more behind us. Juventus are without doubt our toughest opponent, but I don’t even want to talk about other teams.”
Napoli face Atalanta this weekend, a match which they’ve struggled in recently…
“We’re playing at their stadium and it’ll be a very difficult match. We’ve struggled against this opponent, last year they beat us in both games and they knocked us out of the Coppa Italia at the start of this year.
“After the break this could affect things going forward, but it definitely won’t be decisive - it’s too early for that.”
There’s no guarantee the Slovakia captain will be ready for the match, as he’s missed training with flu-like symptoms this week.
“My throat was sore and I had a temperature,” Hamsik explained.
“I missed training on Tuesday, we’ll see how it develops. The doctors are helping me, but I can’t say if I’ll be ready for Sunday’s match.”

Sounds like a legit guy. Would trust

Let's be honest here. No legit owner would have paid the asking price Berlu wanted.

What blows my mind is Berlu had the guts to sell to those dodgy scrubs without getting to know them and accepted right away their loans. One would have thought he'd have preferred to let Milan in good hands.
Went for straight moneyz instead

It's easy to hate Juventus. Owned by Italians, ran by Italians and traditionally employs the best Italian players. Easily most progressive and intelligent Italian team. Showing a clear blueprint for how other Italian teams can raise their level.
It's that Milan team owned by Chinese money launderers that should be praised.

Borini: 'Teams won't let Milan play'
By Football Italia staff
Fabio Borini maintains Milan have struggled because “the opposition teams won’t let us play and it’s difficult to break them down.”
The campaign so far has not gone as planned and they’ve found it particularly difficult to get the ball in the back of the net.
“We’ve had a good week of intense training, the mood is positive and we’ll start to see more of the work we’ve done with the Coach now,” Borini told Sky Sport Italia.
“The problem is that the opposition teams know they are facing Milan, so they won’t let us play and it’s difficult for us to break them down. We also have a lot of players who are new to Serie A from different Leagues and it takes a while to adapt.”
Borini arrived at Milan as a striker, but has been largely playing in a wide role.
“Inevitably that affects my goals ratio, as unless I shoot from 50 metres away, it’ll be difficult…”
lol, pathetic
"we arent shit, other refuse to let us win"

It's quite hilarious that acmilan started posting again in the footballing parts of the forum this summer, and was one of those boneheads doing the "oh captain, my captain" BS and talking about how they poached our best player. Haven't heard a peep from him since the summer.
