Mazzarri upbeat of his team’s chances against Inter and coy over Cavani’s participation in the game
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Edinson-Cavani-c11955, for the game.
The Partenopei side will travel to the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza to take on Claudio Ranieri’s men on Saturday, 01 October 2011. Cavani has not been named in the travelling party for the Azzurri but Mazzarri has not yet ruled the striker
out of the game.
The former Sampdoria boss insisted that El-Matador will undergo a late fitness test before the game at San Siro. The Uruguayan international injured his ankle in his team’s 2-0 win over Villarreal during the midweek.
If he fails to recover in time for the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 match, the manager has drawn up a Plan B and he believes that his squad has enough quality to cover up for the superstars. The 49-year-old admitted that he will assess different options
for the game and he might even change the tactics.
While talking to the reporters, Mazzarri said, “If there is no Cavani we remain hopeful that those who come in will rise to the task.. We can replace him with another striker, or play less offensive."
Mazzarri is hopeful of a winning result against the 2009/10 Treble winners and believes his team has enough quality to get all three points from Milan.
“I am convinced that we will do well in Milan. Do not forget though that we face a team with high technical attributes that is now compact, getting two wins from two since [Claudio] Ranieri revitalised them.”
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Goran-Pandev-c15161 is in line to feature against his parent club after moving on-loan from the Nerazzurri this summer. The tactician added that his club has high hopes of the Macedonian striker but he is highly unlikely to play full
90 minutes.
“The President expects a lot from [Goran] Pandev? Let's see if he plays. The player is growing up, did well to play the whole game at Chievo. He may not make the full 90 [on Saturday] but could be important to us.”
Along with Cavani, Napoli are also sweating on the fitness of experienced defender, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Salvatore-Aronica-c32276.
