“Being ahead of everyone, playing good football and counting on a strong squad, it’s obvious that the pressure is on the teams behind us,” Mencucci told FirenzeViola.
“Our side is relaxed, we want to play our game and are well aware that we’re facing one of the best-equipped teams in the league.
“Napoli have a stellar attack, but we have an equally impressive defence and selection of forwards.”
As Fiorentina are two points clear at the top, can they really be considered Scudetto contenders?
“This game will not be the crossroads to tell us whether we’re a good team or not. I am happy that my players are aware of their potential. I find it normal that every player aims for the highest target.
“Obviously, we directors have to keep our feet on the ground, but I think so far we’ve proved that we can play a role in this tournament as protagonists.”
