“Ancelotti is alternating the strikers to get the best out of all of them,” the director told Sky Sport Italia.

“Carlo wants to balance out the resources also with a view to the second leg in Salzburg. This team, this city and this club want to win something, because they deserve it.

“We want to go all the way in the Europa League, but must take it one game at a time. It won’t be easy this evening, we are concentrated on what we need to do.

“Napoli put together a very young squad that is on the verge of dreaming big. Salzburg are one of the toughest opponents in this competition and have a consolidated 4-3-1-2 formation, basing their approach on pressing.

“They have talented players like Diadie Samassekou and Stefan Lainer, so the whole club works well and has a strong scouting network.”
