Napoli boss Walter Mazzarri says Lazio counterpart Edy Reja deserves a warm reception today.
Reja took Napoli from Serie C1 to the top flight and returns to the San Paolo for the first time as an opponent.
Mazzarri said: "I am pleased to see someone who had such a profound effect that he is given the right tribute. It's an atmosphere that is good for football.
"The San Paolo has to bring a positive energy and not just pressure. We mustn't look at the table, as I don't take my eyes off the road. We'll see where we end up when it's all over."
