Even so, Spalletti said Napoli must impose their game on AS Roma by keeping the ball and playing with their best quality.

"They are a real threat, but so are we to them. The team that manages to carry out their plans well will be at the top. We can't do that against Fiorentina," Spalletti was quoted as saying by the club's official website.

Regarding which players will be deployed, the concocting interpreter explained that Napoli will only lose one player, namely Giovanni Di Lorenzo, who is still undergoing recovery and is ready to be fielded in the next match.

"(Andrea) Petagna looks good and can be in the squad. Fabian (Ruiz) has a small groin problem but he is fine and is available for the game. Regardless of who plays a role, the most important thing is the attitude we show," explained Spalletti .

Even though they will play at home, Napoli have recorded more defeats in Serie A this season. However, Spalletti said what needs to be improved.

"We have to keep our balance and handle every stage of the game in the right way. You need different strategies at different times. We have to stay compact and not push ourselves in attack," said Spalletti.
