Putting the Champions League-Champion's League quarter-finals for the first time in Napoli's history, a "historic front page, I want to see an Azzurri team hungry for results".
This is how Luciano Spalletti gives a strong push to the blue group for the second leg of the round of 16 against Eintracht Frankfurt, after the 2-0 obtained in Germany in the first leg.
A result that Spalletti doesn't trust: "The numbers of the previous ones - he explains - don't create any advantages for you. You start over every game, otherwise it's presumption. Let's remember that Eintracht got through the Champions League by eliminating Marseille and Sporting Lisbon. Last year we were eliminated by Barcelona, Eintracht then went to the Camp Nou to win. So total respect for Glasner's work. We know it will be a very tough match."
Napoli continues its super-escape in the league with +18 with 12 days to go and can now really concentrate on the Champion's climb, entering the big eight: "To make great teams - he explains - you need great players and Napoli were good at build the team, but then it takes the humility and professionalism of great players in being available, being a group. We don't underestimate Eintracht, but we want to give the fans a new page in history, we have the ambition to become great characters in the However, the qualification is 50%, we need to redo a magnificent game like in the first leg. It takes heart, brain and even a little ass".
Spalletti knows he has recovered Meret and Kim Min-Jae, he sees Lozano ready "but Raspadori won't be there - he says - because the exams tell us that we still risk something and rest a few more days".
The alarm of the fans who arrived from Germany remains on even without tickets being sold to Frankfurt residents: about 500 arrived in Naples today despite knowing that it will be difficult for them to enter the Maradona.
"In the first leg - Spalletti said - maximum public order was not guaranteed for our fans in unpleasant situations in Frankfurt. The observatory, the police station, politics, work on public order. "If there's a fear that something might happen, it's right to intervene. This doesn't depend on us clubs, I've also heard wrong irony but it doesn't depend on us."
The Eintracht coach Glasner was disappointed with the ban, but accepts it: "I'm thinking about the game - he says - and not politics. We would have liked to have our fans with us, but we concentrate on things on the pitch. Having the support of fans would have given us positive energy, but we have support even if they're not there."
Glasner is looking for a comeback despite the absence of the suspended Kolo Muani and the injured Lindstrom: "We will find - he says - other players who will have other skills and who can score goals. We know that to beat Napoli we need to play as a team, we will have to score two goals and we thought about what could be functional.
Napoli press aggressively and we will need quick solutions to free ourselves from this pressure.
We weren't fast enough in the first leg.
We reviewed that match, up until the 60th minute Napoli had a lot of ball possession and they always took advantage of our mistakes.
We know we can even score three goals straight away, extra time and penalties are fine for me."
