Two clubs in the top half of the Serie A table will do battle today in a league match between Napoli and Hellas Verona. The first-division clash scheduled for 2:45 p.m. ET will be held at the Stadio San Paolo in Napoli and can be live streamed here free.
Though Napoli were able to qualify for the UEFA Champions League, Napoli winger Jose Callejon has urged his teammates to aim higher next season. The 27-year-old Spanish transfer had a sensational debut with the club, but hopes to challenge for the Scudetto in the near future (h/t to Forza Italian Football). "I'm very happy. I was working to do well personally and with the team," Callejon admitted to TGR Campania.
"It will be difficult to repeat. It was a really great year for me and I hope to do as well next season," he added.
"Next year we need to aim high, for the Scudetto. This season is still positive considering it was hard to keep up with Juventus and Roma."
Will Napoli be able to finish their 2013-14 campaign on a high note—one the could carry over to the following season? Tell us @SportsWN
