Of course, the famous music that at the San Paolo takes on a charm and an exceptional charge for the players will not be able to play, but certainly to try the feat against Arsenal, the Napoli will have to be very careful to the defensive phase because a goal of the English it would damn the qualifying speech, given that it would then be necessary to mark four.
AVANZA CHIRICHES - In Verona the test for the Romanian central Chiriches went well. The injury appears to be definitively closed and mentally metabolized.

Thus, with three power stations assorted for power, physical tonnage and speed on the left a more offensive exterior could be released. And here is Mario Rui, but the quotations of Ghoulam rise, appeared in physical recovery. The Algerian left could be an important weapon both for crosses, but above all for set pieces. The power and precision of his left foot therefore as an additional resource in the offensive phase. Even if we must be careful, given that on that band Maitland-Niles is acting that at the Emirates was decisive for Arsenal, his assists Ramsey for the 1-0.
MERET UNTOUCHABLE. For everything else, as the famous credit card ad says, there is Meret. The Friulian goalkeeper was decisive in London, otherwise the liabilities would have been much heavier and now a comeback would have become a chimera. And then there is a previous good for the number 1, his first experience with the club in Europe. He was also decisive with his saves in the first leg of the first leg against Salzburg, which made him very dangerous in the final. The Neapolitan fans remember that good result: a 3-0 that would be perfect for tomorrow night's match against the Gunners.
