Carlo Ancelotti has talked ahead of the Serie A game against Sampdoria. The Napoli coach has talked about the San Paolo locker room situation: "Works are ongoing, let's hope everything's done for tomorrow. My words came from the heart, I was a bit preoccupied because the locker rooms were supposed to be ready on August 31. There's bitterness and delusion, the stadium has been modernized and I think the city deserves a stadium that is up to the situation's standards. These are considerations that could have been done before the last day".
About the players that were on international duty: "Who was injured has recovered, both Milik and Insigne have worked with the team, problems have been overcome. I will now need to evaluate their conditions but everyone will be available. Lozano has arrived yesterday and he'll train today, an important game cycle starts now with the Samp game. We've not given any thought about the Liverpool game yet, we've worked on correcting our errors these past few days. We have to use the best way we can fact there are 4 games out of 5 we'll play at the San Paolo, there will be a turnover. I want to use every element of the squad because of the available quality. The turnover will keep every player motivated. I want to continue with Mertens and Callejon because they are reliable players under every possible aspect. We want to keep them".
About new Napoli players, like Fernado Llorente: "He's shown great seriousness, he's arrived in great condition. Could he play 90 minutes? Depends on what the coach asks from him, I don't like to say how much a player can play. Llorente is available and has different characteristics from the others. It shouldn't surprise you if he starts, Milik is fine now and in good condition too. I'll talk to him to understand if I'll be able to count on him tomorrow. Koulibaly's condition has improved as well, he's now fine".
About the Scudetto race: "Inter have had a great transfer window that brings enthusiasm, Conte is a great coach and they've started off well: it's normal they're considered as a strong opponent, I do too even if I think Juve remains the favourite. Having many teams fighting for the top positions makes the league competitive. Napoli isn't out of the race, our objective is to fight even better. Like my players say, they'll fight to win and not to get on the second spot".
