"Napoli" players declared that they came to the next Champions League game against Aghdam "Qarabağ", which will be held on November 25 at the "Diego Armando Maradona" stadium in Naples, with a serious mood, after winning 3:1 against "Atalanta" in the Italian Serie A.
According to Idman.Biz, Noa Lang, the author of his team's third goal in the meeting with Atalanta, said in his statement to Radio CRC that it was of fundamental importance for him to distinguish himself on his home field after the disappointment caused by the canceled goal in the Turin tour.
According to the Dutch football player, the main issue for "Napoli" now is to maintain positive energy and restore self-confidence.
"Our task is to carry this energy to the Champions League game on Tuesday. We have enough quality to play better, but if "Napoli" fails in the match with "Qarabağ", they will quickly forget the victory over "Atalanta". Therefore, all our thoughts are already focused on the upcoming Champions League game," said Lang.
Meanwhile, Corriere del Mezzogiorno notes that Davide Neres is also demonstrating a similar mood. The Brazilian player said that the team cannot focus on one result, because everything changes very quickly in football, and if there is a failure in the next game, negative thoughts will come to the fore again.
Football players' social media posts also reflect the general atmosphere. Defender Sam Beyukema called the victory over Atalanta "the right energy after the break" and said that the team is already thinking about Tuesday.
Matteo Politano noted that this kind of result was what "Napoli" needed to prepare for an important week. He concluded his message with the traditional "Forza Napoli" phrase. Paskuale Mazzokki also separately emphasized the pleasure of playing at the "Diego Armando Maradona" stadium and thanked the fans for the atmosphere they created. That atmosphere should also help the team in the upcoming Champions League game.
The Italian press assesses "Qarabağ" as one of the most unexpected and unpleasant rivals of this season's Champions League and calls the meeting in Naples almost a qualifying game.
It should be noted that "Qarabağ" has collected seven points after four rounds of the Champions League group stage and is ranked 15th in the tournament table. The Neapolitans, on the other hand, are in 24th place with four points.
