After the Champions League match against Manchester City, where he scored a penalty in the 2-1 defeat, Amadou Diawara talks about the match between his Napoli and Inter. Talking to Kiss Kiss Napoli, Diawara says: “The points are worth double when it comes to direct confrontations, even though we are just on the ninth match-day, and I would like to be able to gift the people of Napoli the Scudetto. It’s a big match in front of our fans, we want to win it.” A big crowd at the San Paolo is anticipated, and the former Bologna player admits: “It’s great to have a full stadium, the fans are our biggest weapon. The return match against Man City will be different, we want to stay in the Champions League”.

The midfielder then spoke to Premium Sport’s microphones: “How does it feel at the top of the standings? It’s good to be in the lead, but we have to keep this level to stay there. After the game in the Champions League we immediately focused for the next match against Inter. We always need the fans, they are always close but I would like them to come back even more to help us: they are the 12th man. Icardi number one danger? They have eleven great players, we do not focus on a single element: It is an important match that we have to win. Insigne’s injury is said to be just a muscle strain, we hope he comes back soon because he is very important for our team. “
