Napoli Coach Maurizio Sarri warns “we’re in trouble if we consider Juventus as a team in crisis”.
The Bianconeri have taken just five points from their opening five games of the season, and face the Vesuviani at San Paolo tomorrow on the back of a draw with Frosinone.
“We’re in trouble if we consider Juventus as a team in crisis,” Sarri cautioned in his pre-match Press conference.
“They did badly in the first two games, it can happen. Let’s remember that they beat Manchester City in their own stadium.
Napoli Coach Maurizio Sarri warns “we’re in trouble if we consider Juventus as a team in crisis”.
The Bianconeri have taken just five points from their opening five games of the season, and face the Vesuviani at San Paolo tomorrow on the back of a draw with Frosinone.
“We’re in trouble if we consider Juventus as a team in crisis,” Sarri cautioned in his pre-match Press conference.
“They did badly in the first two games, it can happen. Let’s remember that they beat Manchester City in their own stadium.
“Talking about the League being over at this stage is absurd. Juve have shown that they can win 10 games in a row, Inter haven’t.
“They’ve won games, but they’ve yet to show they can last the pace. Juventus, however, have provided plenty of evidence they can put together long winning runs.
“As for ourselves, we just have to work and grow. We’ll understand further down the line how far we can go.
“Both teams have taken four points in the last two games, that doesn’t seem like a negative return.
“Tomorrow isn’t a normal game, so I’d like to see something extraordinary."
The former Empoli Coach was asked what team he would deploy for tomorrow, but was in no mood to give anything away
“The final decision will be made in the next few hours. I definitely think this team needs consistency, so we’ll have to rely on those who have been playing more.
“We can put the others on later, which might also be necessary for physical reasons.
“Juan Cuadrado? I’m thinking more about what we’ll do. I might give him the eye if I see him on the wing!
“We’ll see where [Juventus Coach] Allegri plays him.”
No Bianconeri fans will be allowed into the stadium for this match, and the Partenopei Coach admits he disagrees with the decision.
“I disagree, punishments should be for individuals,” Sarri explained.
“If there are any criminals, they should be arrested. Everyone else should be allowed into the stadium – the only thing they’ve done wrong is supporting Juventus!
“I don’t think we lacked motivation against Carpi, but I hope tomorrow the team is in tune with the city, and understands the importance of this match.”
