Napoli defender Alessandro Buongiorno was the player selected to speak at his side’s pre-match press conference ahead of the Azzurri’s Champions League clash against Qarabag. Here are some of his thoughts:
"We're a tight unit. We have the strength and confidence to put in a great performance tomorrow.
"Our victory over Atalanta was a real morale boost. It was a demanding match, but we’ve taken a lot of heart from it. Now we need to bring that same energy into our performance tomorrow because there’s a lot at stake.
"We've always had faith in our abilities and in what the coach asks from us. We're preparing for the match confident that we can do a good job.
"There are ups and downs in a season, but we’re always competitive. We're ready to give our all tomorrow to try and get a good result.
"Qarabag are a quality team. They're doing very well in the Champions League, and we know that it’ll be a tough match. Our fans’ support will be crucial and they’ll drive us on. We’re pulling together for this – everyone at the club, including the fans – to give our all to win this match.”
