From the smiles during the Serie A games to the preoccupation of the Champions League games, Napoli will have it all during 180 minutes. They'll start from a Shakhtar Donetsk, who will be at the San Paolo stadium tomorrow close to be qualified for the next round. "
After the draw everyone would have thought Man City and Napoli would have dominated the group - has said coach Paulo Fonseca - Many champions and two tops coaches on the benches, Guardiola is one of the best in the world and Sarri one of the best among the Italians. I was convinced we could make it though. We also have quality players and are well organized, as a matter of fact we've won three games out of four. Against Napoli? It will be very though but we are still able to surprise them. I share Guardiola's praises for them. From the playing style aspect, Napoli are the best Italian team and one of the best in Europe. They're doing a great job. We're lucky Koulibaly is disqualified: one of the best defenders in Europe. Mertens and Insigne are the one who create the difference for the team and themselves".
The Ukrainian only need one point: "Believe me, there are no players who don't want to win this game. Champions League is important, winning a game is something serious and prestigious, an ambition everyone shares". Would Paulo Fonseca's future be in Italy? "Why not? It's one of the best leagues in Europe, great players and people who love football. It may happen but my heart is now with Shakhtar. And I'm thinking about the Napoli game". The full interview is in today's Gazzetta dello Sport.
