Napoli President, Aurelio De Laurentiis, believes that Italian giants, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 had a fantastic 2010/11 campaign after a very long time and finished third in the Serie A table. The Azzurri will enter in the group stages of the 2011/12 UEFA Champions League after 21 year absence in the competition.
Walter Mazzarri’s team impressed everyone with their attacking style game and became a formidable unit. The trio of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Edinson-Cavani-c11955 formed a devastating partnership upfront and tormented the defences with their brilliance.
Laurentiis believes that top Italian teams have started fearing his side, which is a very healthy sign not only for his team but also for the Italian football. The President believes that it was all about the Milan giants in the previous seasons but Napoli’s entrance in the competition has made them a top force.
Talking to the reporters Laurentiis said, "These Milan and Inter teams are starting to be scared of us and we will not let their lives become easy. They will be overcome with fear. We are in no rush [to win the title], but we will not make the lives of Inter or Milan any easier."
Napoli have strengthened their squad a great deal in the summer and are expected to be a lethal team not only in the Serie A but also in the Champions League.
On the other hand, the 62-year-old announced that his team will play a friendly game against Spanish and European Champions, Barcelona, next month.
The Catalans will host Napoli in a Gamper Trophy game on August, 22nd, 2011. Laurentiis is extremely delighted to play against the best team in the world and believes it will be a great experience for everyone at Naples.
Laurentiis said, “It will be an honour for us to play against Barcelona. The Neapolitan fans light up the stadiums, as wherever we have played, the Napoli nation have followed.”
The Azzurri have also sent a request to English Champions, Manchester United, to play a friendly against them next month.
