Wolfsburg defender Naldo warns Gonzalo Higuain won’t be the only danger man for Napoli tomorrow.
The two sides meet in Germany on Thursday for the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final. It kicks off at 20.05 UK time (19.05 GMT).
“I have a good experience of the Europa League, as I reached the Final with Werder Bremen. I hope to repeat that in the Wolfsburg jersey,” said Naldo in a Press conference.
“We have the quality to defend ourselves well and do not look at our opponents’ characteristics so much as our own.

“We have the quality to defend ourselves well and do not look at our opponents’ characteristics so much as our own.
“We know it will be tough, but we are concentrated. I don’t think I’ll be duelling with Higuain as such, because Napoli are a very strong squad and will be dangerous for 90 minutes.
“There’s no denying the Partenopei are strong, so we need to be 100 per cent concentrated throughout.
“When I hear Napoli, I think of the beautiful city and great club, but we want to go forward after eliminating Inter in the last round.”
Naldo is particularly strong in the air, so could be a key figure considering Napoli’s recent problems on set plays.
“We hope to have some opportunities and I am not the only one who is good at headers.”
