What They're Saying
Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis (via Football Italia): "To this point you [the players] have been disunited inside the pitch, and united only outside of it. Now, you are under my lens. I will be making no allowances for anybody. I'm expecting great things from you. You must prove that you are champions. So far we've had a few laughs, but now your concentration levels must always be at their highest. Between you and me, there is a pact of honor."
Parma manager Roberto Donadoni (via Football Italia): "We know full well this is going to be difficult, but we will fight to the end."
