Napoli midfielder André Zambo Anguissa says the Partenopei ‘are not talking about the Scudetto’ and is pleased to work with Luciano Spalletti: ‘He speaks to us a lot and I like that.’

The Cameroon international joined the Partenopei on loan with an option to buy from Fulham in the summer and has been playing regularly at the Stadio Maradona this term. Napoli are just two points off table leaders Milan ahead of Sunday’s clash against Udinese.

“We’re not talking about the Scudetto. It’ll be a tough game on Saturday. Udinese are a physical side with technical quality. We’ll need to be fully focused and attack them with the support of our fans,” the 26-year-old told Radio Kiss Kiss.

“We reacted well against Verona. We needed to get straight back to winning ways and we deservedly did so. It was so disappointing to lose to Milan, but we’ve done well to get straight back on track.

“The league is very hard-fought and even this year. We’re not top but we’re right up there. We want to give everything while taking it game by game. It’s still so open.”

What’s his relationship with coach Spalletti?

“A very good one. He’s a coach who speaks to us a lot and I like that. I’m so pleased to have him as my coach because I think communication is so important.”

Finally, a word on racism: “I personally don’t take much notice of the incidents that affect me, neither as a man, nor as a footballer, but it’s disappointing that we’re still talking about racism in 2022. I feel the solution has to be found on an organisational level by the institutions that have power in the league and that can ensure rules are adhered to.”
