00:00 Napoli are a team of great quality, with great attacking players and great physicality.

00:05 We will have to be very careful and put in the field high-level performances,

00:11 both in terms of quality of play, of attention and of organisation.

00:16 For Milan, being in the top means winning something.

00:19 We have to aim for that.

00:22 We know it's very difficult, that the competitiveness in the league and in the Europa League will be very high.

00:30 I don't think we should think too much about it, or look too far ahead.

00:37 The seasons are built match after match, brick by brick.

00:44 We are doing well in this period and we want to continue,

00:47 but we can only do it if we face tomorrow's match better and if we can put in the field high-level performances.

00:52 We have worked well, we are in good shape, we are in good shape.

00:57 We have had a period of one match a week that has helped us in our individual work,

01:02 in our programming, in our loads, in our recovery, which is important, both physically and mentally.

01:08 We will be very good in this period,

01:13 we will have at least five games in 15 days and then we will face them one at a time.

01:19 We are more focused on attacking play,

01:21 this is certainly a bit for the characteristics of the players and a bit for the average play.

01:26 We have always been like this.

01:27 There have been times when we have been more solid,

01:29 there have been times when we have left a bit of room.

01:32 We are working hard, but I think we have to insist on our positive aspects

01:38 and, as always, try to minimize as much as possible those situations

01:44 that are not yet so precise, so careful, so effective in our defensive phase.

01:48 I always tell my defenders that we have chosen a role that is the most difficult,

01:55 the most complicated, where the effectiveness, the attention and the reliability must be total

02:02 because we cannot make a mistake in our attitude, we cannot miss a ball,

02:05 we cannot make a mistake in our position.

02:07 So, of course, we emphasize in all defensive situations all these things that are very important.

02:15 But this is true, I repeat, when we talk about the defensive phases of Milan,

02:18 it is not a discussion exclusively about the defensive line or Mike,

02:22 but about the whole team, because they are special people,

02:25 who make the difference in the attitude, the sacrifice, the running, the communication.

02:30 And we are working on it.

02:31 The same goes for Napoli, they are of a high level, both in terms of percentage and quality.

02:37 It is the team that has the most precise passing,

02:39 and we are second.

02:41 Sometimes they close and then they start again well,

02:44 because they have quality and speed,

02:46 but I repeat, Napoli shoots a lot in goal, creates a lot of chances,

02:51 often with a lot of territory, compared to the opponents.

02:54 So, it will be a game where we have to be very careful,

02:58 if we want to command the game, we have to manage the ball very well when we will have it.
