Capello insists Napoli can challenge for Scudetto

Russia coach Fabio Capello believes Napoli can get back into the Serie A title race.

Capello insists Napoli remain among the top three teams in the country.

"When I was in charge of Milan there were seven teams fighting for the Scudetto, because there were also certain great Presidents.

"Now the only remaining clubs are Roma, Juve and Napoli. The rest make do with simply competing.

"The level of player in Serie A has dropped too. If you train with a great player, you learn and improve. Today, not having top players in their squads, they copy mediocre levels.

"Abroad the clubs who have more money can buy the most talented players, so they take on a winning mentality.

"Fortunately during this economic crisis Italian football is doing a good job of finding talented young foreigners. Only one top player arrived and that was Carlos Tevez."
