The textual chronicle

At the Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt "the nobilitade will be parried" of Napoli engaged in the first leg of the Champions League knockout round against Eintracht, a team that is doing so well in the Bundesliga.

The Germans, although in sixth place in the standings, are only 2 points from the fourth, Freiburg, and 5 from the leading trio formed by Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Union Berlin; results that, however, pale in comparison to the road map of Spalletti's team.

The Azzurri arrive at this appointment in the wake of a championship that they are dominating, but aware of the difficulties given the scope of a valuable opponent and winner of the last Europa League.

Numbers in hand, this season Napoli is proving to be ready for the big jump. In the groups the Azzurri have been on target twenty times and have conceded only six goals. All with a resounding lesson at Liverpool in the first leg and ten goals trimmed at Ajax in two games. A relentless march, which now Spalletti & Co. want to continue even against Glasner's formation to continue chasing the Champions dream together with that Scudetto.

Luciano Spalletti

Spalletti: "I expect a lot from Osimhen and Kvara"

"Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia? They have the flair, imagination and quality to send signals to world football. But at the same time they are two very young players that Giuntoli and De Laurentiis have been good at choosing from a very wide package of players and this youth must still be shaped, it must be made to mature". So the coach of Napoli, Luciano Spalletti, on the eve of the Champions League match with Eintracht. "I believe - says the Tuscan coach - that it will be an event to be exploited and in my opinion they will be able to interpret the game in the correct way. It is a race in which it is not legitimate to be afraid and we will certainly see those plays that only types of this level can do".
