Gasperini spoke to Sky Sport on the eve of the Europa League clash with Viktoria Plzen.
“Matches like yesterday’s [Napoli’s 6-2 loss to PSV] demonstrate how playing in Europe carries risks at all levels, and not just when playing against the most prestigious teams. In the various leagues, there are clubs that are highly prepared, both physically and technically.”
“Cristante and Ndicka could be rested. It’s just due to the fact that they’ve been playing all the time lately, and since we’re at full strength – except for Angeliño – we’re taking advantage of the week to give them the chance to train regularly.”
“There was a good reaction against Inter after conceding a very early goal. The team was able to create chances, but this isn’t a great time for us to finish. Tomorrow, too, we’ll need to show our attacking prowess and finish better. Dovbyk and Ferguson? For all teams, attacking players rotate frequently.”
“Bailey? He has different characteristics than the other strikers, he has speed and a shot, he’s used to playing a lot on the wing and he returned a few days ago. With Soulé, Dybala and all the strikers we have, I’m convinced we can do something good.”
