Rolando: “Napoli know they’re good and want to prove that against us”

Yesterday Inter Channel spoke to the man who has more reason than most to feel excited about Inter’s next match, Rolando. The Portuguese defender heads south to face his old club tonight in a game he says will “be really hard because Napoli are having a great season. It’s always tough at the San Paolo, but we’re going there to try and play our game and we’ll see what happens.”

Napoli are particularly strong at home, “because the crowd is amazing and makes it difficult for the opponents. I saw what it was like last year and that’s why I say it won’t be easy, but we’re confident about our chances.”

Will Napoli be affected by their Champions League elimination? “I don’t think they’ll be demoralised. They know they did extremely well in their group. It’s the first time a team has finished with 12 points and not qualified, but they’re aware of how good they are and they’ll want to prove that against us. It won’t make any difference to us though because we’re determined to play our own game.”
