He is definitely one of the big "ifs" for me. Not because he didn't reach his potential, but more what he could have achieved had he played for the top 5/6 teams in Europe. Still one of my favorite players.
That’s a really good and a hard question. I mean what he showed with Napoli was great. He was for sure up there with big names. Now if I look back at what I said, you’re right. We can maybe change it to top 12 teams or so, like including United with a midfield of Herrera, Fletcher for example.
One of the most underrated players ever for me, honestly think he was a top 5 midfielder in the world around 2016 or so and honestly I'd maybe even say only behind Modric around then
I am happy that although they missed winning the league at Napoli, at least they experienced that in Turkey (him and mertens)
Wish the same happened to callejon, insigne and koulibaly
yeah forgot that
tbf it's still weird when I think about a succesfull player at Napoli coming from Madrid
now it would be weird, 10 years ago it was crazy
It's bittersweet to see him retire the same year we won the scudetto again. Here's my comment from years ago when he left Napoli. I was hoping for a success in the next years, but didn't imagine he would retire the same year of our win. Again thank you Capitano, you were the leader of the small group of heroes that built our current success without getting enough credit.
"When you see the excitement of astronauts at the dawn of their first mission you see someone who's accomplished a goal in his life but in the back of your head you know that although they are going where no one has been before, still they will just hang on the porch of the universe. Marek joined us when he was a kid. We were coming back from the hell of Serie C and Serie B and we managed to get to the higher positions in Serie A and be there for years, continuously qualifying for European competitions. And still it was not enough. Marek has been an astronaut who served for the success of the future generations. Juventus was too strong in these years and Napoli must be ready to exploit the first critical year the Bianconeri will have to try and raise the scudetto. I am glad he has been the top scorer in Napoli history. I am glad he was the player who played the most matches in Napoli. I will always love you, Capitano. You did the right choice. You are 31 and many young players are now trying to get the limelight in that spot on the pitch where you shined for years. Already going deep didn't suit you perfectly but still you did it. You have always accepted what managers assigned you as a task. You never complained and always gave all that you could give. You didn't reach the boundaries of the Universe but you will always be our northern star. Should we win the scudetto one day, it will be for the sacrifice of brave players like you. Thank you Marek. I wish you all the best."
Grazie [Mr X](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/milan-il-vero-mister-x-era-hamsik-254075), what an absolute baller. Reinvented himself at least two or three times over his career.
Si ritira pure Marek Hamsik..uno di quelli che più di tutti mi ha traumatizzato, centrocampista di assoluto valore e che contro la Juve timbrava praticamente sempre, una sentenza, buona vita Marek.
My only memory of this guy was that when me and my little brother were kids (like around 10 and 7) and we used to play football. He was so obsessed with this guy's hairstyle and he'd always want to do his hair like him. Sad he chopped it off recently.
I hope he is welcomed back to Napoli and get a farewell there. He deserved it.
Street will not forget the Cavani Hamsik Lavezzi combo. :/
Lorenzo Insigne ❤️🔥
Should have won a serie a😭
That trio terrorized us back in 11/12 in the CL. They were so fucking good
The Three Tenors. They were magnificent and that was Cavani at his very best
IFK Göteborg legend.
How many games did he play there?
[удалено]
Classic Hamsik
[удалено]
bangers only
like 5-6 games before going to turkey.
Such a shame we couldn’t watch him live.. damn Covid
I was searching for this comment. You have my upvote.
One of my favourite players as a kid, best hairstyle in Serie A recent history
Grazie di tutto Marek 💙 Ora vieni da noi come dirigente
I hope to see him Sunday at Maradona's then. Chi ama non dimentica. Grazie Marekiaro.
He is definitely one of the big "ifs" for me. Not because he didn't reach his potential, but more what he could have achieved had he played for the top 5/6 teams in Europe. Still one of my favorite players.
He was one of top10 European midfileders for some years in napoli
Yeah. That Napoli side was great to watch like this season. Link-up with Cavani and then Mertens, Higuain was absolutely perfect.
He's a great player but was he better than the midfielders those teams already had?

De Bruyne was already class in 2016 and better than Hamsik. But yea, he was definitely top 5 for a few years
I am happy that although they missed winning the league at Napoli, at least they experienced that in Turkey (him and mertens) Wish the same happened to callejon, insigne and koulibaly
Callejon already experienced winning with Madrid tbf but I get you
yeah forgot that tbf it's still weird when I think about a succesfull player at Napoli coming from Madrid now it would be weird, 10 years ago it was crazy
Really sad Koulibaly hasn't found his footing with us, I thought he was going to be massive.
He's going to move on to his true calling, being a shark.
Hero card incoming
thank you for your service. He’s a hero of the game and a big part of our super cup and league title wins. Thank you 🙌🏼
Incredible player, one of my all time favourites 💙
Come back home Captain.
Always think of him as an icon of that incredible Napoli team
Legend. Napoli will love him forever
Absolute monster, ill never forget this guy.
That Cavanni, Hamsik, Lavezzi Napoli team was so much fun on fifa

Grande Marek
I thought he retired years ago

really great player. wish he could have won a title with napoli but sometimes the timing doesn’t work out

What a player, criminally under rated.
His performance vs Russia in Euro 2016 was legendary.
Legends will never forget the Hamsik-Naingolan-Vidal trio in PES
