Spalletti: The Scudetto is not an obsession, I want to see Naples explode in joy

is the only unbeaten team in Europe’s top five leagues this season and is eight points clear at top of the Serie A.

In their first game after the World Cup break, Napoli will face 

 at San Siro on Wednesday night.

“During the break, we did what we had to, working on the things we need and assessing players coming back from the World Cup and those who went on holiday,”

Spalletti said at a press conference.

“We’ve had good responses, but we are not starting again because, as I already said, we’ll start from where we left off. We began this amazing trip a year and a half ago and there are no stops, we will only rest when we know how it ends.

“Lobotka and Kvaratskhelia worked in the right way, and their performance against Juve Stabia was good. Kvara is unpredictable, he makes normal things become exceptional. He is an added value to us.

“The Scudetto is your obsession, not mine. My obsession is to see this city explode in joy. We have an awareness of what we have done on the pitch, we’ll face a great team. We’ll play our brand of football which has given benefits to the team.

“Inter are a top team, over the last three and a half years, they’ve made investments worthy of a top European club. They know how to defend well and they will be tricky with counterattacks, leaving their two strikers against our two central defenders so we’ll need organisation and balance.”

also was asked about facing Romelu Lukaku who has only scored two goals since his return to Inter.

“How about Dzeko, Calhanoglu, and Skriniar? I’ve coached some of them and I know how much they’re worth, the value of these champions,”

concluded Spalletti.
