We never know how the team is going to perform after a holiday break so I’m satisfied with the work from the boys”, said Ancelotti.

In Quarter-finals Napoli will play against AC MIlan and some calendar circumstances have provoked Ancelotti to confront his former team twice at the end of January. First match in Serie A and then in Coppa Italia. “It will be really thrilling to play against Milan twice in one week. It’s very important for us to do well in the Cup because it’s our aim in the season and we will give our best to get as far as possible”, said the Italian coach.
