Carlo Ancelotti: Napoli will attack Liverpool at Anfield

Premier League, Seria A, UEFA
Carlo Ancelotti has promised that his side will attack Liverpool at Anfield on Tuesday, despite not needing a win to qualify for the Champions League knock-out stages at the expense of their opponents. Napoli will travel to Anfield unbeaten as Group C's leaders, having taken nine points from two wins and three draws, though they are not yet guaranteed a place in the next round. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); A draw will be enough to see Napoli through, while Liverpool must beat their visitors 1-0 or by at least a two-goal margin in order to be sure of progressing. Even so, Ancelotti is not planning to defend and promised more the same aggressive counter-attacking which undid Liverpool during their 1-0 defeat to Napoli in October. "We know how they...

Mourinho warns United’s owners ‘we need to sign world’s best players to reach Juventus’ level’

Seria A, Premier League
Jose Mourinho has conceded Juventus, Manchester City, Real Madrid and Barcelona are out of Manchester United’s reach and warned the club’s board they will not be able to compete with those teams unless they make effort to sign world’s best players.

Barcelona level? Real Madrid level? How can you reach that level? Manchester City level? How can you reach this level?” Mourinho asked, almost rhetorically, before acknowledging that the only way to do so was to sign the best. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || [])....

It was never Higuain'...
