"[Inter versus Napoli is] important yes, not decisive. We don't think about the other games. Let's focus on our stuff and then see. We are the first to play: what matters is our race."
Pioli insists

"
We are in the race on four fronts, and it is certain that we want to win something. We wrote history last year, but in history we want to stay, by winning
," he added.
"If we want to consider ourselves a winning team, we have to win something again this year.
"I saw a report on [Rafael] Leao: many goals and assists, but titles won, one. We need to do more. We have four options to do that."
