Wolfsburg Coach Dieter Hecking says Napoli will be a tougher test than Inter, who they beat in the last Europa League round.
The German side knocked out Roberto Mancini’s men 5-2 on aggregate, and while their Coach insists that tie was not easy, he expects an even tougher test tomorrow.
“It was a close game with them [Inter],” Hecking told assembled media in his pre-match Press conference.
“It wasn’t easy, and in Serie A Napoli are a few positions higher, and are more complete than the Nerazzurri.
Wolfsburg Coach Dieter Hecking says Napoli will be a tougher test than Inter, who they beat in the last Europa League round.
The German side knocked out Roberto Mancini’s men 5-2 on aggregate, and while their Coach insists that tie was not easy, he expects an even tougher test tomorrow.
“It was a close game with them [Inter],” Hecking told assembled media in his pre-match Press conference.
“It wasn’t easy, and in Serie A Napoli are a few positions higher, and are more complete than the Nerazzurri.
“Their weaknesses? I don’t know, I haven’t seen any weaknesses. We’ll have to be shown our own qualiteis in attack and defence if we’re going to win.
“The draw is difficult, but it’s also one that catches the public imagination, so we’re pleased to play it and we want to progress as we did in the previous rounds.”
Napoli are arguably one of the biggest names left in the competition, and Hecking was asked what comes to mind when he thinks of the Partenopei.
“Obviously [Diego] Maradona, we saw his successes at a very intense time here in Germany. Also, I go to two Italian restaurants which are run by Napoli fans, so I won’t go for cappuccino there between the two matches!
“We’ve bet each other a cappuccino after the game.”
