“In Udine we must have character and confidence,” the Coach told the official Napoli website.

“After Thursday’s victory over Sparta Prague, we want to continue along this path by showing the same character and quality.”

Napoli had surprisingly gone behind at the San Paolo in that Europa League game, eventually winning 3-1.

“Serie A is different to the Europa League,” continued Benitez.

“We are ready for this game against Udinese, who are a tough side. We’ll face them with trust in our potential.

“I very much liked the reaction of the team against Sparta Prague and I’m convinced whoever plays tomorrow will show the same attitude to prove we are a strong squad.”
