Meeting Highlights…LAMINE
He manages his emotions with confidence. It is an opportunity for them to live it, enjoy it. That they are there at 16 or 17 years old is spectacular. Let them enjoy it.
…NAPOLI
I expect a brave Naples, who dares to play from the back, who presses high. Something similar to what we are looking for. It's going to be a nice match for the show because they don't speculate, they go under pressure. They have three very good players up top. We are facing a great team.
…MENTAL PREPARATION
It is the most important game of the season. We are prepared, motivated. The word is illusion. We haven't been in the quarterfinals for four years. It is an opportunity to do well, compete, with enthusiasm. We face an opponent who is not in a good position, but who is champion of the Scudetto.

Antonio Conte
Manager on Napoli..AS A TEM
Being a team for ninety or one hundred and twenty minutes. The individual's objective must be achieved through the common objective. I expect the team to take a step forward, it must be a strong group. The boys have understood that in this respect we still have to work, what we have done is not enough. Only by improving can we achieve our goals.
…ABOUT MATCH
It will be a match that takes care of itself, it's not for everyone to play the quarterfinals against an opponent of this level. I haven't spent any words on this issue, there's no need, with the team we focused on other aspects because we still have some flaws. Conceding certain things can be fatal. Compared to the first leg we have changed a lot, now the team is more compact, they concede less, we manage to create more, we are scoring enough, we defend forward because I don't like running backwards, but the Credit goes to the boys who have made giant steps forward in three weeks. But the journey is not over, we still have a lot to do to become what I would like.
…FEAR
How do you train fear? If you are afraid you don't even have to show up for these matches, rather you have to have the courage to face a strong and healthy opponent knowing that Napoli can play on an equal footing with anyone and try to win matches.
