What They're Saying
Napoli chairman Aurelio De Laurentiis (via Football Italia): "Napoli-Juventus is the national derby for me. Juventus are not just a team from Turin, they have a platform of support that crosses all of Italy, even within our city. But Napoli is the flagship of the South."
Juventus midfielder Claudio Marchisio (via Football Italia): "We're still there, ahead of everyone. We're having a great season and now there's talk of Juve being in trouble because of two or three games where, sure, for the experience the team has, we could have done better. But there's no crisis, nor are we having difficulties."
Tactical Preview
