“We are in good shape and all the players are motivated,” the Coach told Sky Sport Italia.

Carlo Ancelotti admits Napoli squad rotation is giving him “a real headache” to choose who starts against Juventus.

The Partenopei changed nine of the starting XI and gave Kevin Malcuit his debut, but still tore Parma apart 3-0.

“We are in good shape and all the players are motivated,” the Coach told Sky Sport Italia.

“After the Fiorentina game, we started to defend in a different way. Lorenzo Insigne is decisive for us in his new position as a more central striker and not a winger. Insigne is in tremendous form and I think we need to make the most of that right now.”

“Our style of attacking also depends on the way the full-backs change position. Against Torino, we had Simone Verdi and Jose Callejon pushing up, whereas today we had the full-backs providing the width.”

Ancelotti admits embracing squad rotation has caused him a few problems ahead of the showdown with Juventus.

“To be honest, I’ve given myself a real headache picking the line-up for Saturday, because those who played today proved they deserve it and so did those who played at the weekend.

“I chose to come to Napoli because of the passion in the city and the project of the club. We are trying to change something and it’s working pretty well.”
