Did De Laurentis call me after Spalletti in the summer? I don't think it's appropriate to talk about it today, there's no need for distractions because Italy's champion team is coming off a Champions League victory. We must play a great game with Napoli for ourselves and our fans.
Team Status
We continue to work, thinking about the next training session and the next match with the aim of improving as always, knowing that we are facing the reigning champions.
Napoli
I saw them good in the cup, there were many scoring opportunities, they won and gained confidence. We need to focus on what we should do and what we should avoid. I saw a team that attacked well from the wings even with the full-backs, their wing players were good and they had excellent players in the middle.

Manager on NapoliTeam Analysis
We are an attacking team - we always scored and we could have scored more against Braga, for example. Sometimes you need something to go a few millimeters to the other side. We conceded five goals in the league, which is a lot, but we only conceded eight shots, which means we weren't out of position or conceded too many, but we definitely need to be more effective.
Bologna
They are a good team. I admire Thiago Motta as a player and I'm happy he's doing well as a coach. We are 100 percent focused on the match tomorrow.
