“There was talk of a Lazio side in great form, we went out there [against them] and created a lot of chances. The same with Inter, we have seven chances.

“If we play like we can tomorrow we can get a few goals.

“We have to score goals, and try find a balance. In Spain they said that it’s defensive [in Italy], while it’s attacking here [in Spain].

“I have always won with balance, attacking and controlling the match, while not conceding many. At the moment the team is lacking the latter step but we can’t do anything but work.

“I have confidence in our work, even if we’re facing club with players of the highest quality such as [Mathieu] Valbuena, [Chris] Samba and [Yuri] Zhirkov.

“They have players up front with pace and quality, we know all about [Aleksandr] Kokorin, but they also have an aggressive and hardworking midfield.

“If we play like we did against Inter we’re confident of winning, but we’ll definitely have to be careful because it’ll be difficult.”

Meanwhile, Napoli have announced their squad for the match, with Miguel Britos returning.

Napoli squad to face Dynamo Moscow: Rafael, Andujar, Contini, Mesto, Henrique, Albiol, Koulibaly, Britos, Ghoulam, Zuniga, Inler, David Lopez, Jorginho, De Guzman, Hamsik, Callejon, Mertens, Gabbiadini, Zapata, Higuain
