…NAPOLI

We meet the Italian champions, it's a great satisfaction to do so. At the moment we are in a position to want to recover that point that we lost, regardless of the opponent we have to give our all. The difference is the desire to fight. The difference between last year's Napoli and this year's is difficult, because it was a perfect machine, with Calzona they are showing the typical movements of that Napoli. We tried to study them thoroughly. Politano is a well-known player, I would add Simeone, Raspadori. They have a lot of quality, they have many strong players available even during the match. Napoli have the ability to manage the game, they are strong in re-aggression, they know how to take risks, they are skilled in attacks lateral and in depth. We should know how to read the moments of the match, we must also be good at their individuality. The important thing is to be convinced that with the help of the department we can be competitive and want to play this match.

…MENTAL PREPARATION

It cannot be separated, the players play roles and I can't wait for tomorrow. I live for the matches, I like the training but then I can't wait to play the matches. I want to convey to my players the idea of the challenge, you only get the episode on your side if you faithfully believe in what you do. We have to give a great performance.

…POINTS NEEDED

It's certainly not pleasant when you don't take away any points. Especially for the players who work hard every week. What interests us is our identity but also taking points. The part of annoyance and inconvenience in a match in which we deserved a draw , we don't have to fight with the expectation of winning. We have to think about picking up points against everyone, the difficulty coefficient increases, but it depends on us and our desire to go on the pitch and we have to be good at reading it, even more so from here to the end, in these remaining six days. Now it's time to look ahead and believe that we can do it.

…TEAM CONDITION

I realise that you are interested in novelty, but I am interested in globalisation. Physically the kids are at the highest level, just look at the data. We work systematically. I am sure that objectively they are working a lot and show important data. Shots on target are a generic fact, from a qualitative point of view we need to understand how and where you get to shoot. We have greatly increased the effectiveness, this team has doubled the chances but also the goals. We have to build our numbers, we work on the players we want to launch, I blindly believe in them. From a tactical point of view the prerequisites arise in the ability to immediately attack the depth, even with a few passes. The rest must be done by the desire on the part of the players.
