Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti says the fans will be crucial facing AC Milan in the return-leg of their Champions League quarterfinal.
Napoli meet Milan needing to overturn a 1-0 deficit.
Spalletti said, For that game we need a bit of everything, not just possession, but balance, moving the ball around well and being a team at all times. That is a quality you only have when the team is mature, consistent in attitude and keeping on your toes all the time. It's not just about doing it when you play against Milan or in a Champions League quarter-final, it's doing it all the time.
The fans are fundamental, I've said it many times. We had some great away performances in arenas where it was tough to hear the home crowd. This gives more strength to a team like ours, they feel supported and can bring the best out of themselves.
There is so much love, passion and affection for the players, perhaps too much, and we will always thank them. If we manage to do this thing, we will remain forever on the walls of Naples. We will all become Maradona."
