Napoli, De Laurentiis: 'I'll send Milik to Chievo. Man City? Focused on Inter'

Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis was interviewed by Gazzetta dello Sport ahead of an important week which will see his Partenopei first face off with Pep Guardiola's Manchester City before hosting Luciano Spalletti's Inter.

"These 8 conecutive wins are quite striking. This Napoli is astonishing. Ever since Benitez arrived we've been raising our aims, throughout the year, and now we're beginning to reap what we have sown."

What kind of a match are you expecting tomorrow at the Etihad Stadium?

"I think that in this match we need to rest those players that have played more minutes than the other players in order to preserve them. The match against Inter is at our door and that match is equally important."

Guardiola said that Napoli play the most beautiful football in Europe. Do you agree?

"I'm worried about these statements. I prefer statements like when Di Francesco said that his Roma would beat us. His certainty served to charge my players. I don't want that Guardiola's compliments deconcentrates our players. He is an old fox, he knows that the quality of his players is remarkable. It could be an impossible match for us to win but then we will wait for them to come to Naples."

After Manchester City youre facing Inter...

"We have to take on Spalletti's team in a thoughtful way. We have the advantage of playing at the San Paolo in front of our fans whom I invite to fill the Stadium. This is an important part of our season and we need their passion."

Is it possible that you could send Milik to Chievo in order to bring in Inglese?

"We will see, it could be a solution, we will try to convince him. He would play with much more continuity there."
