“There’s no point hiding behind superstition, Napoli are flying and so far they seem to be the best of the bunch,” Bianchi told Radio Crc.

“They have a solid defence, a prolific attack and incredible football, because they alternate slow and fast tempo. They’ve also got patience, as they know sooner or later the result will go their way.

“Napoli were already a good team before, then Sarri’s solidity and pragmatism helped relax the locker room atmosphere.

“The Partenopei struggled at the very beginning, but no other sides really emerged to control the League, so it allowed them to get back into it.

“It seems to me Napoli made the right adjustments, are feeling very confident and are proving they are superior to the rest.

“Napoli and Inter don’t have the best defenders, they have the best defensive organisation. When Napoli lose possession, the forwards are the first to chase down opponents and slow them down.

“Inter, on the other hand, are more solid and physical in their style. I hope to be wrong, but I think we’ll see more of a tactical chess game than a spectacular encounter.

“I never really supported a single team, but I spent three quarters of my career at Napoli and without doubt I am cheering them on tomorrow.”
