Napoli attacker Lorenzo Insigne hails thumping win over Cagliari

Napoli attacker Lorenzo Insigne is convinced they can win the Scudetto after victory over Cagliari.

Napoli thrashed Cagliari 5-0 on Monday night.

“We had a good game, it's an important result," Insigne told Premium Sport after the match.

“We're top, but it's in our hands. We must win all our remaining games. Juve won't give up, but we've shown that we have great character and a big heart.

“We're not putting pressure on anyone, we're playing each game as if it were a Final. We hope to be rewarded at the end of the season.

“I always try to repay the faith of my Coach, even without scoring. I hadn't scored much, so I asked Jorginho to leave the penalty to me, and I thank him for doing that.

“Mertens' substitution? Everyone wants to play until the final whistle. It irritates you a bit when you're taken off, but after the game, everything stops.

“Reina? I hope everyone here stays, but it's not up to me to decide these things. Still, I'm convinced Pepe has always wanted to stay here as long as possible. We'll see."
