So, here we are. Two days before the important match against Udinese in north east Italy. A place the team has not won since 2007 . How confident are we? I am already reaching for the alcohol as Gonzalo Higuain sustained an injury thanks to Raul Albiol in training - so he will not feature as reported here by Tuttonapoli.
A man rehabilitated under Rafa Benitez is Argentine defender Federico Fernandez. Football Italia have excerpts from a recent interview with Fox Sports where he talks about the World Cup and Naples.
Fellow defender Raul Albiol has also been talking about Napoli needing a "winning mentality" A Coppa Italia victory is a good start!
I have been trying to avoid this story but if you believe the Daily Express then Chelsea and Manchester United are set to battle it out for "unsettled" Marek Hamsik. Nobody was reporting these rumours before January when Hamsik was impressing everybody. Oddly enough, his poor form has coincided with a return from serious injury. Who'd of thought....
and finally
Does the future of Walter Mazzarri at Inter depend on him qualifying for a competition he hates? Not according to ex Napoli and current Inter director Marco Fassone as reported here by Forza Italia Football Walter in the Europa League......Well I suppose the kids will get a game
