Reja seeking Coppa comeback for Napoli

Napoli coach Edy Reja feels they can shake-off their scratchy form with victory in the Coppa Italia quarterfinal tonight against Juventus.

"We will soon return to performing at the highest level," declared Reja. "My team has great talent and potential, so soon we will rediscover the taste of victory."

While the Serie A form has been poor, allowing them to be overtaken by Roma, Genoa and Fiorentina as well as caught by Cagliari, the Coppa Italia is a one-off game.

The winners on Wednesday night will go into the semi-final for a clash with Lazio.

"We will play with great believe and conviction, even if we know it will be anything but easy," continued Reja.

"It is the ideal match for us to get back on our feet, because it's in the spotlight and gives us the chance to reach an important objective.

"This is a one-off game, so despite the fact Juve have enormous resources, we can play on level terms. All we have to do is believe."
