Cavani: We still have to improve

cavani

dinson Cavani is not getting carried away by Napoli's position in Serie A ahead of tomorrow's match against Fiorentina.  Cavani scored a hat-trick in last weekend's 3-0 triumph over Juventus to help his side climb to second, four points behind league leaders AC Milan. The result followed Napoli's 3-1 defeat at Inter Milan in their opening game of the year."We played a great game against Juventus," Uruguay international Cavani said. "We are in a great position in the table but we are not Scudetto material. Our aim is to qualify for the Champions League and in order for that to happen, we still have to improve a lot. We cannot forget that we made mistakes against Inter and that we have to be more solid and show the same rhythm of play that we displayed against Juve."
With Slovakian star Marek Hamsik unavailable through suspension, Napoli fans will be hoping Cavani can keep up his impressive form in front of goal. The striker increased his tally to 13 goals last weekend to lead the Serie A scoring charts alongside Udinese's Antonio Di Natale.

Rivals Fiorentina travel to the Stadio San Paolo hoping last weekend's 3-2 triumph over Brescia marks a new beginning for the club. Trailing 2-1 with four minutes remaining, the Viola scored two late goals to clinch their first triumph in 2011. The victory lifted struggling Fiorentina, who had been just two places above the drop zone, to 12th with 23 points. "We hope that our bad luck has ended and that this win will mark a new chapter for us," said Fiorentina defender Lorenzo De Silvestri.
Napoli have won their last five league games at home and Fiorentina will have to be at their very best if they are to clinch their first triumph on the road since last March. The Viola are alongside Catania as the only Serie A clubs that remain winless away from home this season. The visitors are still without Romanian forward Adrian Mutu, who was dropped from the squad earlier this month for indiscipline.
