“Napoli are having a great season. Tomorrow will be a beautiful evening of sport, where we need to be ready, play a great game of technique and intensity. We know that at San Paolo the matches are never over.” With just over 24 hours to go ahead of the game, Massimiliano Allegri gave his thoughts on tomorrow’s big match that could leave an important stamp in the race for the title. But the game wasn’t the only thing that was addressed during his press conference….

LEAVING SOCIAL MEDIA

“This is the problem,” revealed Allegri after he was asked about his deleted social media accounts. “I have never been a big follower of social media, sometimes I would post a message after a game. I was at dinner and I decided to close my profiles, but I find it normal. This clamour has surprised me.”

THE CONDITION OF THE TEAM

“Ronaldo is doing well, he trained with the group. Tomorrow either Emre Can or Bentancur will play. Regarding the injuries, Khedira is being monitored and there isn’t a date for his return. We hope to recover Douglas Costa for Atletico. The team will be ready for the match. Bonucci and Chiellini’s conditions are improving, just like that of Pjanic.

THE RUMOURS OF HIS FUTURE

“After Madrid they made us for dead before we’ve been eliminated, so voices came out that I would go away for a number of reasons, which are not true. I will meet with the President and we will talk like every year and decide what to do next year. Now we have to be focused on the remaining games still to be played, a championship that needs to be won and on the game on March 12th, where everyone will be needed. What is needed is a stadium that will push the team for 95 minutes.”
