Napoli legend Careca: Higuain key to Scudetto glory
Napoli legend Careca says Gonzalo Higuain is key to their Scudetto hopes this season.
The Partenopei went top of the table this week for the first time since 1989-90, which is the year they won the Serie A title.
Careca said: “Higuain? It's difficult to make comparisons, just like people tried to compare Diego Maradona and Gianfranco Zola. I hope he can score many goals, even more than I did. That's the key to winning another Scudetto.
“I don't know Maurizio Sarri, but I heard he was born in Naples and he'll certainly want to make history. I hope that can be the tipping point, as a Neapolitan always wants victory.
“There's so much hope for another title and a long way to go. You need the character of Neapolitans to win, because here it's a battle against everyone and everything."
