GARGANO HAPPY WITH SEASON SO FAR

Napoli midfielder Walter Gargano has said that he is extremely happy with what Napoli have achieved this season, but says that there's still a lot more that the club can do.

Napoli have been extremely brilliant in the Champions League, although the same cannot be said of their domestic form. It is because they have been focusing entirely on the Champions League and have been rewarded with a last 16 tie against Chelsea.

Napoli were drawn in the group containing Bayern Munich, Manchester City, and Villarreal. However, they did extremely well to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League, thus boosting the coefficient of Italy in the process.

Walter Gargano has been one of the key members of the Napoli team this season, although he has been largely the unsung hero in the side. The likes of Edison Cavani and Marek Hamsik have been dominating the headlines for Napoli. Walter Gargano, though, is more than happy to be on the sidelines when it comes to media attention, as he wants the team to perform more than anything else. One of the main reasons for Napoli's success in this season has been their home form, but Walter Gargano wants the club to perform well in the away matches as well.

"We have done something extraordinary, we have accomplished something that was unthinkable. Our goals for the New Year are to continue along this road, confirm our status and always aim to do better, especially in the Champions League. We are very united. As soon as we have a free moment, we spend it together, especially the South American players of the squad," he told his official website. Walter Gargano signed for Napoli back in 2006 and has made 17 appearances for the club so far this campaign.
