Napoli, Sarri: "The situation is difficult, we must give all we have to try to advance."

Napoli need a win to keep qualification for the knockout rounds of the Champions League alive. Ahead of the match against Shakhtar, the coach of Napoli Maurizio Sarri spoke to the media: "We are not guaranteed to advance the round. The situation in the table is tough, there is a small opportunity for us to go ahead, we need to jump in and get to it. This is not the time to make calculations but to play with heart and soul because we cannot risk leaving the Champions League without giving our all. The level of competition is very high, and with City it's even higher. On average the games are higher scoring than in the league and tomorrow we will be missing Koulibaly, who is an important player, we need to make up for his absence. Tavecchio resigning? I don't love the politics in sport, I hope in time it will be more tolerable. A reform of the calendar is inevitable, to get rid of the international breaks and gathering the national teams at the end of the season."
