Palermo boss Rossi: Napoli clash no top four decider

Palermo boss Delio Rossi doesn't believe tonight's clash with Napoli will be a Champions League decider.

The two teams are separated by only one point going into this game and both have the ambition of a top four finish.

"This is not going to be a Champions League play-off," said the Rosanero Coach.

"It seems exaggerated to talk about that now, when there are still 25 rounds to go. We'll know what happens at the end of the season."

The Sicilians need a boost after their midweek exit from the Europa League, which saw Javier Pastore sent off.

"He is an intelligent lad and very mature for his age. He regrets what happened, but there's no need for an explanation when you know you're dealing with a responsible person," argued Rossi.
