“It’s going to be a very difficult game, almost impossible, but it is still the most important for us and we will give it our all,” said Dionisi.
Empoli are in Serie B and qualified for this round by beating Benevento 4-2, while the match with Brescia was decided by default due to COVID-19 cases.

“We know our opponents, they are one of the best sides in Serie A. I am expecting a team performance from my players, going to Napoli convinced of our own identity.
“It will be an honour to play against Napoli and I can’t wait to shake Gennaro Gattuso’s hand.”
