What They're Saying

Cesena manager Domenico Di Carlo (via Football Italia): "We worked well during the break on the physical and psychological form of the lads. We are fiercely motivated and it takes courage against this Napoli side. Rafa Benitez has given them a European mentality. I admire him as a coach and a person."

Napoli midfielder Marek Hamsik (via Football Italia): "We've won three trophies in two years, something Napoli hadn't managed for decades. These are big reasons to be satisfied, and within ourselves, we always feel the desire to improve. Of course, it goes without saying that our real desire is the Scudetto, but it seems a long way off this year."

Tactical Preview

Player to Watch: Hamsik enjoyed a modest 2014. In 14 league appearances, the 27-year-old has two goals and two assists.

Cesena's Projected Lineup (3-5-2): Leall; Capelli, Lucchini, Volta; Mazzotta, Eduardo, Cascione, Feudis, Giorgi; Brienza; Almeida

Napoli's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Cabral; Britos, Albiol, Koulibaly, Maggio; Lopez, Gargano; Mertens, Hamsik; Callejon; Higuain
