Reja looking forward to AC Milan clash

Edy Reja, coach of Serie A leaders Napoli, is looking forward to the clash with AC Milan this evening.

Napoli are confident ahead of the game and Reja says they will go out to attack AC Milan at the San Siro.

“There is so much enthusiasm around the side. I realise Napoli are physically and psychologically strong and it is truly a pleasure to see the spirit with which they step on to the pitch,” said Reja.

“However, against Milan enthusiasm cannot be enough. We are facing a stellar side that is also on the ascendancy.

“We must try to play a game without mistakes, staying extremely focused in defence and adding our quality into the mix. It will be an extremely intense match.”

He added: “What cages can you possibly build when taking on Alexandre Pato, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Pippo Inzaghi, Marco Borriello or Andriy Shevchenko?

“Napoli have never adopted that kind of tactical neutralisation anyway. Of course we must be sharp to limit the supply to their strikers, because these are all world class champions. If they have the ball and run at the goal, they will show no mercy.”
