Napoli, Sarri:”The Europa League is a tournament at the limit of sanity”

With the Europa League match against RB Leipzig coming up, Maurizio Sarri spoke about his team’s condition and mentality in the pre game press conference: “We struggle to acquire a European mentality, in our group we give more importance to the results we achieve in our league, but this absolutely cannot become a justification. If we want to take the next step up we must find the motivations to win- the Napoli manager said- we have some difficulties depth wise at the moment: tomorrow we’ll have 18 players including the keepers. Reina? I’ll talk to him to understand If it makes sense to have him on the bench. We must limit the amount of stress both physical and mental. Milik is showing a lot of improvements, I told him to let me know when he can play a portion of the match, but he has yet to say so. Hamsik? He’s feeling better, yesterday he practiced with the group, it will be his decision tomorrow. The Europa League? Despite it being an important European competition, it’s a tournament at the limit of sanity, we play on Thursday night and we’re back on the pitch 60 hours later and that doesn’t help us”
