Reja hails his Napoli youngsters Hamsik, Lavezzi

Napoli boss Edy Reja hailed his star kids Marek Hamsik and Ezequiel Lavezzi after last night's amazing 4-4 draw at Roma.

Lavezzi and Hamsik bagged a goal each and took decisive roles in all the Napoli goals.

"Hamsik has extraordinary ability and potential. He was coming off two games in three days for international duty, yet showed great stamina. He sees the play like few others and will be a great champion," explained Reja.

"Every now and then Lavezzi takes a rest on the field, but when he starts up there is no stopping him. He always gets past his man in a one-on-one situation. His physique is a little robust, so if he lost 2kg he'd struggle a bit less to remain consistent."
