Luciano Spalletti, the coach of Napoli, announced before the Champions League quarter-final match against Milan and announced the passage to the next round of the competition.
The footballers from Naples will chase the deficit from the first match, in which the Rosso-Neri won 1:0.
However, according to the Spalletti, they are not afraid of challenges and want to move on.
“We tried to prepare for several scenarios. At this stage of the competition, you have to think about everything. Yes, we also practiced penalties, as I believe they did too – They play modern football, attacking, with high pressing. They fully deserved to win the Scudetto last season. And now they come to impose their rhythm. Dealing with Osimena could spoil their plans. “Pressure? Risk? There is no pressure or risk. The only risk is to achieve infinite joy, because Napoli has never reached to play at this level. We haven’t said the last word, we’re moving on,” said Spalletti.
After him, the stopper of the team from Naples, Juan Jesus, spoke.
“During the whole season, we show who and what Napoli is, we are 22 points ahead of them in Serie A. We are aware of our possibilities and how we got here. Also, the fans know what’s on them. We need their support to get the most out of the field. They should know that the result against Juventus (5:1) is largely due to them. We need that kind of energy from the stands. That will be a problem for Milan’s defense. Viktor is our top scorer and is in good form. They tried to provoke us in the first game on their ground, they wanted to cause problems. We responded by playing football”, concluded the Napoli player.
Let’s remind you, the return match between Napoli and Milan is scheduled for Tuesday starting at 21:00.
