Napoli Coach Rafa Benitez admits they’re entering the season’s crucial phase – ‘ these direct clashes change everything’.
The Partenopei will travel to the capital to face Roma tomorrow, before a Coppa Italia semi-final, a match with Fiorentina and then the Europa League Quarter Final.
“It’s an important game,” Benitez said of tomorrow’s game in his pre-match Press conference.
“There are still so many games to play and so many points available before the end of the season.
“There are games we can win, but the important thing is to do well in these months. The last game is against Lazio, we have to keep focused without forgetting the cup competitions.
“We’re fortunate in that we’re still fighting on three fronts. I won’t give an opinion, but I think for both teams this match will be important for the Champions League.
“If we play as we know we can we can go to Rome and win. That said, winning at Roma is not easy. I have great respect for our opponents, but we want three points.
“My experience tells me to stay calm and work to our best in every game. We can win until the end.
“I’m not going to make calculations, because we still have to play at home to Lazio, Fiorentina and Sampdoria. These direct clashes can change everything.
“The important thing is to focus on the next game, the team is doing well physically but what matters is the result.
“For example, against Inter we drew despite playing very well.
“We’re mentally prepared to do well across three competitions.”
