Atalanta coach Gasperini: I expect to face the best of Napoli

Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini admits they won't be underestimating Napoli tonight.

La Dea face Napoli with Walter Mazzarr having just taken charge after the sacking of Rudi Garcia.

“They are always a very strong team, one that dominated the championship last year," Gasperini said.

“I expect the best from Napoli, but we are also in a good position in the league. For us it has always been a good match to measure ourselves, tomorrow we will certainly find out what level we are at."

Gasperini also discussed Charles De Ketelaere's impressive form.

“It doesn't worry me, he's still a growing player.

“He's had a chance to recover physically, he certainly still seems to be growing from a physical point of view. He's playing off the back of a tough season, that affects everyone, but now he's finding his way. The spotlight is always on him, but he's a player with lots of qualities and he needs to show them off."
