I couldn't give a to$$, as long as our players perform.

There's no such thing as a nice and easy bedding

Anyone but Napoli.

My preference is to look to the future and secure some young, talented footballers. Football is about entertainment and that's what I promise the Napoli fans.

Either Cavani of Lavezzi. Not like I'm biased.

8) The length of shorts fluctuated greatly over time, do footballers take too many liberties with their current shorts?

Probably on a TV advert or a club looking to bankrupt themselves.

5) Who are the teams to watch at this early stage of the season?
Napoli

6) Will you look to bring in your own players, or try and mould your given team to your tactics?
The team could definitely do with a bit of freshening up.

Cavani, because I just bought him

Cavani, because he's a beast.

- Hopefully looking to do well

1) So, the draw's been done, are you happy with your team?
I am - I have some good players to start with + just need to build on that.

2) What are you expectations for this year? Top of the table or boldly battling relegation?
Top half finish would be a reasonable target, anything more will be a success, anything less with be a disappointment.

3) Where are you key weaknesses, and where will you look to improve?
Defence - it's good - but not as good as I'd like it to be.

6) Will you look to bring in your own players, or try and mould your given team to your tactics?
I'll definately build my team around my tactics, obviously I had some world class players already in the squad - but I like a particular type of tactic (with a good plan b) definately my own man.


7) There are some brilliant strikers already in the league, who's best?
Falcao atm and guess who signed him?
