"Tomorrow we will play the qualification for the round of 16 of the Champions League at the Maradona which will be full. We know their will to react to the result in Amsterdam, but we have to interpret tomorrow's match as if it were a final, we have to put in an attitude of desire and of hunger that is used in the finals, without doing any kind of calculation ".
This was stated by the Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti on the eve of the Napoli match against Ajax on the fourth day of group A of the Champions League.
A draw would be enough for Napoli to have the mathematical qualification, but Spalletti does not look at the same: "We do not know - he says - if we are good at calculating the result. We have always reasoned in the same way and it would be a mistake to search for a single result. . We are in a moment of victories and psychologically we face this phase in a simple way, simulating natural things. I think about how Napoli's opponent will be. If I were the Ajax manager I would know what to say and we also simulated it. we also know that the more results we do, the more our opponents put something more on the pitch. "
