âThis is a big game against a team that is very, very strong.â
Fabregas played under Conte at Chelsea for two years, and therefore knows his tactics very well.
Having tried to reshuffle his system a few times in recent weeks with three or four at the back, has he prepared anything special for facing Napoli?

âItâs just about going for the victory, so we need to press high, have the right mentality. Losing or drawing is the same thing at this stage of the season, so we must go for the victory and to score goals.â
Nico Paz, Mergim Vojvoda and Sergi Roberto have shaken off knocks, so the only remaining absentee for the hosts is long-term injury case Jayden Addai.
The Argentina international had been taken to hospital for checks after the 2-0 win away to Genoa, as he was having trouble with his vision following a clash of heads.
âI am very happy with Nico Paz, he has always scored lots of goals, but the improvement was in his interpretation, his movement. He has a big margin for further improvement, but has done better in his posture, gathering the ball and turning when pressed.
âHe already scored I think 15 goals in all competition this season, so thatâs a good tally and hopefully he can add more in the last few games.â

Conte said in his pre-match interview that Fabregas is a fine coach because he is always âstudyingâ the game, and this is something the Spaniard acknowledges.
âI used to study as a player, so I try to do it as a coach, because I see no other way. I donât create my own ideas, I go around seeing other methods, the way others train and work, then I try to adapt those ideas to our football,â replied Fabregas.
âStudying football is essential, because what works today probably wonât work in two weeks. I was looking at some pressing movements we did in Serie B just two years ago, I wouldnât do that now. Football is constantly evolving and you need to keep up with it.â
