After the international break Napoli are set to face Chievo at the San Paolo stadium in Serie A. During the pre match Carlo Ancelotti discussed the team’s bond with the fans:”The squad is solid and has personality, our supporters appreciate this spirit. It makes me very happy to have fifty thousand fans tomorrow, it’s a sign of great synergy between the team and fans. This is an added asset for us”
Ancelotti discussed his short term goals:”We want to start a new cycle well against Chievo, this period represents a great opportunity for us. We want to reduce the gap with the leader in the standings and pass the round in the Champions League. Tomorrow we’ll have another test for our maturity. There are no easy games. Chievo is a dangerous opponent”
Ancelotti discussed the status of his injured players:”The players that came back from the national teams feel well. Unfortunately Younes and Verdi had some problems. Mertens took a hit in practice, we’ll evaluate him, everyone else feels well. Diawara on the pitch is a possibility, he came back well from national team and feels well physically. Meret returned at full rhythm with the others, he has done full work since this week, tomorrow he’ll go on the bench then we’ll see how to use him”
