Milan, 8 Sept. (LaPresse) – “Tomorrow we face a competition that’s different from the league; we need to secure 12 points to ensure we progress to the next round. We’re up against the European runners-up, who are winning in the Premier League; we know how tough the match will be, but there’s a great sense of pride and a real desire to put in a good performance and try to get a positive result.” These were the words of Napoli manager Max Allegri at a press conference on the eve of their Champions League group stage opener against Arsenal. “There will be no tactical changes; McTominay, who has had an operation, will be out, as will Anguissa, who has a minor niggle. Neres is a doubt – we’ll see tomorrow if he’s fit enough to play,” he added. “In midfield, three of De Bruyne, Gilmour, Lobotka and Vergara will start. We’ll see tomorrow,” he explained.
