What the coaches say

Gennaro Gattuso, Napoli coach: “We’re up against a great team made up of great players. We know it’s going to be difficult but for myself and my squad it’s a source of pride to face a team who are stronger than us who, over the past ten, 15 years, have been one of the best teams in the world. We shouldn’t have any fear: we have to respect them and play our own game with great awareness and dignity.”
