His side has slumped recently, but has the chance to get back on track with two consecutive home ties against Siena and Lecce

“I would be an idiot not to think this is a great opportunity to climb up the standings, but at the same time Siena are in good shape and there is no such thing as an easy game in Serie A,” warned the Coach.

“It is up to us to keep focused and maintain the tension levels, playing with a high tempo and a great deal of intensity. It is a very important match for us and has many hidden dangers.”

Napoli have been the revelation of the current campaign and went into this weekend in fourth place, but their position would be even stronger had it not been for slip-ups against Cagliari and Atalanta.

“At the moment the only thing stopping us from being on a level with the truly big clubs is a constant level of concentration and focus,” noted Reja.

“These are elements that will improve over time. I am very happy and extremely satisfied with how the lads are performing.

“Who here wouldn’t have been happy to see Napoli in the top four at this stage of the season? Therefore we must give the team their due.

“Not enough people remark on the importance of this side’s greatest strength: the rock solid team spirit. That is what represents the real Napoli.”
