Gennaro Gattuso had some thoughts before the match against Napoli.
#Gattuso: "Playing with grit won't be enough. It will take a great performance. We need to play well tactically and technically. There are many things we will need to do right to win this match"#MilanNapoli

Napoli might be the second most talented team in Serie A after Juventus, and with Juventus looking shell-shocked after their loss to Real Madrid, Napoli has to believe that they can catch the Old Lady and nick the Scudetto out from underneath them. Milan needs all the points they can get to try and qualify for next season’s Champions League, and with Inter drawing yesterday, plus the big match between Lazio and Roma, Milan need to pick up all three points to have a chance. Napoli also needs all three points.
It should be a barn-burner.
