“Napoli are a great side and the greats always manage to shake off a disappointment. We can only beat them by playing really good football, as the Azzurri move the ball so quickly, we need to be very precise.
“I don’t believe they are in crisis at all, as they had convincing performances against Juventus and Feyenoord. It’ll be important to start strong and break out of their initial pressing game.
“I certainly don’t think we are the favourites in this game, but we are hungry and want to fight it out, albeit aware of the difficulties. We’ll give our all to bring home a positive result.
“We did very well against Lazio and will try to take the same approach tomorrow, though it’s not easy to take the ball off Napoli. We’ll have to run hard and close all the spaces, to stop the opposition doing what they love the most.”
