Napoli, Di Lorenzo at the press conference: “There is a lot of enthusiasm among us, Haaland? He’s a great striker, but…”

There is great anticipation for Napoli’s return to the Champions League after just one season away. Last season, in fact, the Azzurri, coming off an unfortunate campaign, had to do without facing the top European teams. Tomorrow, the Azzurri will visit Manchester City, in the match valid for the first day of the League Phase of the new Champions League. On the eve of the match, Napoli’s captain, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, spoke at a press conference.

These were the words of the Azzurri player at the press conference: “Differences in training? There is great desire to be back in this great competition. We are happy to be back in the Champions League and to face a team like Manchester City. How do you stop Haaland? We know we’ll be up against a great striker, but not only him. We have to be careful and do what we have been doing for a year and a half with the coach. For us, it will be a tough match because we’ll be facing top players. It will be difficult, but there is a great desire to play our game and do our best.

Emotion? As I said, we’re here to play our game and give everything we have on the pitch. We’ll have to be very careful, but the coach has prepared us well. Now is the time to understand what level we’re at, since last season we missed out on European competition. De Bruyne? Kevin presented himself with great humility, he’s a great champion. I’m sure tomorrow he’ll receive a warm welcome.”
