The absences will be felt but mister Paul Zanetti he certainly doesn't want his Empoli feel inferior, even in front of a battleship like the Napoli.
"Beating Napoli? If you dream and believe, things happen."
"The recipe to stop the team of Spalletti I don't have it - admits Zanetti -. I've focused a lot on what we can do more than on what others can do. I'm interested in the kids continuing on their path."
"I don't agree with those who say we don't have a chance, otherwise we could go for a walk downtown or we wouldn't have gone to Milan to win.
Things happen if you dream them and believe in them. We have already demonstrated that we know how to do small and large feats."
"The Napoli he is the best or the worst opponent we can find, depending on the point of view.
However, we have often shown that we know how to cause problems to teams much stronger than us, regardless of the result.
