Playing against the best team in the league is both hard and easy. Hard, because avoiding defeat is an ordeal. Easy, because you’ve got nothing to lose.Speaking ahead of their Serie A duel on Friday night, Sassuolo coach Alessio Dionisi heaped praise on Napoli’s Nigerian hitman Victor Osimhen, but also told his players that the table-topping team isn’t unbeatable.”Napoli are clearly the strongest, they are well trained, organized and trustworthy. They could go two goals down and overturn the match without getting too excited. I told the boys that since I’ve been around, Napoli has been the team with which we scored the fewest points, together with Udinese, and the one with which we have the worst goal difference.”pic.twitter.com/Q6qCjZVaTa— Victor Osimhen (@victorosimhen9) February 13, 2023 Dionisi is unbeaten in his last four league games. However, his men will face a Napoli outfit who have picked up 59 points from the first 22 league games, only behind Inter in 2006/07 (60) and Juventus in 2018/19 (60). Napoli are 15 points above second-placed Narazzurri.##NAJAVA_MECA_7031400##With the Champions League tie with Eintracht Frankfurt just days away, Luciano Spalleti might be tempted to rotate his squad for the trip. Dionisi probably sees his chance there.”Napoli always go on the field to win but they are not an unbeatable team.”Napoli players will fill at home tonight because there’s likely to be 10,000 away fans at the Mapei Stadium. They will probably outnumber the home supporters. They are so close to the title, they don’t want to miss a minute of this season.Cholo’s son had a Champions League tattoo done when he was just 13 – now he wants to win it with NapoliNapoli’s Kvaradona a.k.a Khvicha Kvaratskhelia could become the first player to register 10 goals and 10 assists in his debut season in one of the top European leagues since Diego with Werder in 2006/07.
