Raffaele Auriemma spoke on Radio CRC during the broadcast “Si Gonfia la Rete” Michael Beck, agent of Rony Lopes, striker of Sporting Braga which this evening hosts the Napoli in the debut match for both teams in this edition of the Champions League.
“If Braga can win against Napoli? There is absolutely the possibility, after all the Braga players know that in the Champions League everyone has the chance to get through the round and they have to believe in it to try to get a difficult result against Napoli.
What feeling does Napoli give to Braga? The season has just started and Napoli, having changed coach, needs time to find itself again. I know Rudi Garcia personally and I have great confidence that he can put things right”.
“Will Rony Lopes start tonight? I don’t know the lineup for tonight yet, but I hope he can start. I think he can make the difference in this match.
What perception did we have seeing Napoli as a rival in Europe? Napoli is one of the most important clubs in Europe today. You are at the top level if you win the championship against teams like Inter, Juventus and Milan. The Italian championship is growing, the perception is that there are two top clubs in the group”.
"Osimhen is already a top player and if Napoli had wanted to sell him they would have found all the best clubs in Europe ready, if he stayed it is because Napoli wanted to keep him. It is difficult for any coach to manage three competitions, there is no alternative to resting some players. It is no coincidence that only teams with strong and large squads reach the end of this competition".
