(ANSA) - NAPLES, FEBRUARY 20 - "Napoli is a team that does not play Italian football, theirs is an anti-Italian football". Oliver Glasner


   congratulates Eintracht's Champions League opponent tomorrow night and at the time himself allows himself a vaguely polemical jab against the way of playing which, in his opinion, characterizes football in Italy.


    ''Napoli - explained the German coach at the press conference - always has great intensity.

They play very aggressively off the ball, with high pressing and very intense counter-pressing.

They have a very different way of playing from other Italian teams.

It is something we know and have prepared for.

Kvaratskhelia and Osimhen are strong, but we can't reduce Napoli to just the offensive phase.

They have great balance and concede few goals.

They played an outstanding group stage.

They have almost outclassed Ajax, Rangers and Liverpool''.


    ''But they too - adds Glasner - have some weaknesses and this can help us, it gives us opportunities.

My players are very focused and I hope they will be able to put my suggestions into practice.

I am very confident and the players also give me the impression of being so''.


    ''We learned a lot in the group stage and we deserved to reach the round of 16 of the Champions League - says the Eintracht coach again - which was one of our first objectives.

Now we have to face a great race and as always our goal is to move forward.

We know that Napoli are very strong, but we are also in good shape.


   The atmosphere will be fantastic, the stadium will be sold out.

I spent hours and hours analyzing Napoli, already in the winter preparation and during the break.

We've been thinking about it for ages now, we've been studying it for months and months, and they always play with the same formation". (ANSA).
