With the absence of Lorenzo Insigne, Dries Martens will carry most of Napoli's weight upfront: he's ready and waiting for tomorrow's game. Decisive game for Napoli with an away game against Feyenoord. Here are Mertens' words in press conference: "Insigne is a great footballer, he will be missed but we have many players able to take his place. We've got a great group. I personally am well, it's true that I havent scored in Serie A for four games but I've delivered assists. We must get back to our best playing style. I haven't heard De Bruyne but I think Manchester City want to make the most points they can, we have to think about us. It's important to win, then we'll see what the others have done. Ghoulam's extension? He's a friend, he's really strong ; too bad he's out, he'll have a great career. Napoli have done well keeping him, he's here from quite some time. If I could lose 2 teeth to get to the next round in Champions, it wouldn't be a problem. We want to do well tomorrow, it's always nice to play here because this stadium is really beautiful".
"It's true it's hard to accept the defeat when you're not used to it. We're always playing well and are criticized, win and play badly you'll be criticized, we must react to win. I'm happy to play and because I'm not tired. It's true some times I wanted to rest. I don't feel like a leader, we're 25 players, we want to do well all together".
