What the teams are saying
Napoli head coach Antonio Conte doesn’t underestimate his opponent
“I’m not going to say that you get used to it. But we have a bit of experience here [winning games and being top of the Serie A],” he says.
“But Inter…We’re talking about a team that’s won the Scudetto, reached the Champions League final, and this season they’re flying in the Champions League.”
Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi on having his superstar available for this clash
“We haven’t seen him back on the pitch yet,” Inzaghi said of Marcus Thuram.
“In the last little while he’s done everything to make himself available, but he had an injury problem against Fiorentina. But he’s working day and night to improve. If he’s not available on Tuesday [against Lazio in the Coppa Italia] then we hope he will be in Naples.”
Players to watch
Romelu Lukaku, Napoli – Once a beloved player for Inter Milan, Romelu Lukaku is now despised by the Nerazzurri. However, he is aware that Napoli manager Antonio Conte believes in him. The Belgian forward is eager to net a goal or two to enhance his team’s chances of unseating Inter as the champions of Italy.
Lautaro Martinez, Inter Milan – The Argentine has been having injury issues this season, but still has a healthy goal tally of 10 goals in the Serie A this season. With Thuram out, he’ll be eager to continue to cement his place in Simone Inzaghi’s starting line-up.
