Napoli Coach Rafael Benitez says the Partenopei are taking things one game at a time as they chase second place.
The Neapolitan side have won four games in a row in Serie A to move within four points of Roma in second, which gives automatic qualification to the Champions League group stages.
“We’re taking things one game at a time,” Benitez told journalists in his Press conference ahead of tomorrow’s trip to Palermo.
Napoli Coach Rafael Benitez says the Partenopei are taking things one game at a time as they chase second place.
The Neapolitan side have won four games in a row in Serie A to move within four points of Roma in second, which gives automatic qualification to the Champions League group stages.
“We’re taking things one game at a time,” Benitez told journalists in his Press conference ahead of tomorrow’s trip to Palermo.
“We have an opportunity to win, and we’ll try to do so. After that we’ll see. Today we’re only thinking of Palermo, who are a very difficult team to beat.
“What’s changed? Time changes everything, but [in defeat] against Chievo at home [at the start of the season] we had 33 shots.
“Eventually our mentality and confidence have changed. The game against Juventus in Doha [to win the Supercoppa] was important for confidence, you could always see the technical quality of the team.
“If the confidence is there, the team wins, and that gives us confidence for the next games.”
The Spanish Coach warned, however, that tomorrow’s trip to Sicily represents a significant test.
“Palermo’s strikers are doing well, and they’re an organised team.
“Palermo are good at home, and play with great intensity. We’ll have to give 100 per cent.”
Benitez has also named the squad which will make the trip across the Strait of Messina tomorrow night to take on the Rosanero.
Napoli squad to face Palermo: Rafael, Andujar, Colombo, Maggio, Henrique, Ghoulam, Strinic, Albiol, Kuolibaly, Britos, Gargano, Inler, Jorginho, David Lopez, De Guzman, Callejon, Gabbiadini, Hamsik, Duvan, Higuain
