FOCUS FOR GRAND FINALE
“Now begins a 'mini-league' in which we have a four-point lead with five matches remaining. Juventus vs Napoli is important and will be a great game, but not decisive.
“We must be ready not only for tomorrow's match, but this final stage of the season in which we also face Inter and Roma in the league, as well as Milan in the Coppa Italia final.”
NAPOLI’S EXTRAORDINARY SEASON
“Napoli have been going for the league title since the start and we know that this is a crucial match for them. They’re enjoying an extraordinary season, as in recent campaigns.
“Maurizio Sarri has done a fantastic job there. He has technically gifted players and he has created a team that plays a great brand of football. They have become a major force in Italy and also Europe.”
HIGUAIN KEY. PJANIC BACK
“In terms of squad news, I have everyone at my disposal apart from Mattia De Sciglio and Stefano Sturaro. I need to check on Andrea Barzagli. Medhi Benatia has played the last two league matches. We'll see.
“Paulo Dybala and Juan Cuadrado are fit and I’ll decide whether to play three or four men in attack. I believe that Gonzalo Higuain will be a decisive player against Napoli. Meanwhile, Miralem Pjanic has recovered in time for tomorrow’s match.”
NAPOLI FANS IN ATTENDANCE
“Tomorrow there will also be Napoli fans present at Allianz Stadium and rightly so. This must be a first step in the right direction. In general, Italian fans must improve their behaviour, as they all ought to be able to watch every match.”
