After a 3-2 away victory against SPAL over the weekend, a game in which they lost Milik to another injury, Napoli will now look to bounce back in the Champions League as they take on Feyenoord tomorrow evening. Maurizio Sarri spoke at his pre-match press conference beginning with Milik, "It is very unfortunate, he was just getting back into shape, but we must not complain. We will need to find a replacement and we will find one. All of these matches close together? We can not train well with all of these close commitments. Either you reform the calendar, because the national squads cannot take places 33 days out of 90, or there will be no way. The solution is not to take away teams from Serie A because it takes away the dream for many to join. I understand why managers speak more of the market than of training, at this level training no longer exists. Napoli can only train for a full week in December."
He then went on to speak of the fixture against Feyenoord, "they will put us in trouble, they are very alive despite the result of the last round, we will need a push from the San Paolo crowd. They attack fully and leave themselves exposed to restarts, but I want to keep them away from our area. It is not a decisive match but a very important one. Tactical plan? There will be 3-4 changes from Saturday, fortunately there are only few tired players. I hope that throughout the season we can react to negative episodes. It makes me angry that we know how to play in a 4-2-3-1 but now can't use it. Callejon can give guarantees as a striker. Ounas has potential but is not yet integrated with our style of play, it is very instinctive. Turnover? we have deployed six different league formations, we are the team that has played the most players, but we will continue to say that Sarri does not change."
