AC Milan coach Pioli: Leaders Napoli no surprise

AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli isn't surprised by the way Napoli have started the season.

The Rossoneri have 13 points from the opening five games and sit just two points behind table leaders Napoli.

“I expected this Napoli, they haven't changed much and they added Anguissa who is strong and I've known for a long time. They have depth and are among the candidates for the title," Pioli said.

“There will be a lot of competition for the top four. I'm happy with my team, I have quality and many options.

“Together with the fans, we have more energy and enthusiasm. We started well at home, but we are only at the beginning. Tomorrow we play away against a team to be respected.

“It's an important game, the starters will play a key role, but the same goes for those who come on from the bench.

“All those who played on Wednesday are promoted. When everyone's fit, my choices are just technical. Tomorrow I will pick the best line-up depending on what I see during today's training,"
