Before Juventus v Napoli, Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna told DAZN that Lorenzo Lucca must show he deserves to wear the Napoli shirt. Lucca was set to start after Rasmus Hojlund pulled out with flu-like symptoms.
Pre-match context
Manna spoke to DAZN before Juventus-Napoli. Massimiliano Allegri was suspended.
Manna on the match
Manna said: "It's an important match for us because we've never won two in a row and we need to build consistency. We have to put in a performance against a strong team who are going through a difficult spell but must not be underestimated. We'll try to show our values on the pitch."
Manna said: "A really difficult match. I expect them to start strongly today. We have what it takes to face it. It will be a very long match, and we need to stay focused from the first minute to the last."
Lucca set to start
Hojlund pulled out with flu-like symptoms, and Lucca was set to start in his place. Manna said: "We need to be patient, but not too patient, because fans are never patient. Lorenzo has everything and must show every day that he deserves to wear the Napoli shirt. I expect a strong performance; the goals will follow from that."
Manna on Marianucci
Manna said: "Marianucci is improving, he has energy and a positive attitude, and he can help us with the way we are playing at the moment."
