Napoli midfielder Jorginho warns “we have to focus on ourselves” rather than chasing down Juventus.
A win over Milan on Saturday would, at least temporarily, put the Partenopei within one point of the Serie A summit, but the Italian international says they can’t risk losing focus.
“We can’t think about it, we have to concentrate on ourselves alone,” Jorginho said on Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli.
Napoli midfielder Jorginho warns “we have to focus on ourselves” rather than chasing down Juventus.
A win over Milan on Saturday would, at least temporarily, put the Partenopei within one point of the Serie A summit, but the Italian international says they can’t risk losing focus.
“We can’t think about it, we have to concentrate on ourselves alone,” Jorginho said on Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli.
“We’re strong, but we must limit our mistakes and think only of ourselves. It’s very nice, very balanced and the matches will be played until the end.
“We’re missing an entire half of the season, so there’s still a long way to go.
“Milan? It’s not an easy day, because they’re an organised team and they have a little something extra at home. It’s up to us to make sure we don’t make mistakes and beat them.”
Napoli legend Diego Maradona visited the team at Castel Volturno yesterday, and Jorginho was asked about meeting El Pibe de Oro.
“It was a special thrill to meet someone who made history for Napoli and in world football. It was an unforgettable day.
“I couldn’t miss the chance to ask him for a picture, he’s not someone you see every day so I didn’t know if I’d get another chance.
“I’d never seen [Coach Maurizio] Sarri stop a training session before, we asked Diego to come more often so it keeps happening!
“He gave us some nice words, he definitely fired us up for Saturday.
“Sarri? I’ve never seen him so excited! Maybe today he’ll make us train a bit more to make up for the time we spent not training yesterday.”
