At 6 pm in the Napoli-Verona and Lazio-Salernitana fields
There is great confidence in the home of Verona in view of the away match in Naples. Tudor's team arrives at Maradona on the basis of three consecutive useful results. In addition to the draw in Udine there were the successes with Lazio and Juventus to gas the environment. The club is in a situation of absolute tranquility. And also the words of the coach Igor Tudor are marked by serenity and trust. "Napoli will be a difficult match for us - admits the Croatian coach - we will play at the home of one of the favorites to win the Scudetto, a team made up of strong players and a coach as good as Spalletti. It is a great motivation for us, the goal is to do well, to establish itself as done so far and then we'll see what happens ".
The shock of the knockout with Verona had a positive effect in Maurizio Sarri's Lazio, who seems to have forgotten a very fluctuating first part of the championship and is now counting on the favorable home round against Salernitana to extend the positive streak.
To confirm the change of pace is Pepe Reina, who for quality and experience has the pulse of the Biancoceleste situation.
"After the defeat against Verona, something has certainly changed in the team's mentality during the retreat. Almost always the direct confrontations in the dressing room between us are only good. It seems that the team has understood the importance of every match," said the goalkeeper, the only one to speak at the press conference on the eve of the Olimpico match.
