&lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gennaro Gattuso&lt;/strong&gt; was full of praise for Napoli&amp;#39;s next opponents Real Socieded as he spoke at a media conference on the eve of their Europa League meeting.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;em&gt;“We&amp;#39;re going to have to turn in a superb performance because we&amp;#39;re playing a tough, talented, well-drilled side,”&lt;/em&gt; the boss said. &lt;em&gt;“There&amp;#39;s no other way to play Real than by taking them on at their own game. We must believe in ourselves and our ability to dig in. We know we&amp;#39;re up against a team with a great footballing tradition who can cause problems for us.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Has last week&amp;#39;s defeat to AZ Almaar left any scars?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Yes. We know that losing that game makes tomorrow&amp;#39;s match even more important. There are another 15 points to play for of course, but last Thursday was a big blow. We&amp;#39;ll be up against very tricky opponents tomorrow – just look at the league table.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What did you say to the team about that opening defeat to AZ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&#34;There wasn&amp;#39;t a lot to say when we analysed the match. Having all that possession without scoring means we were at fault. It&amp;#39;s harder to perform at your best in Europe. We know we must do better. We were too slow – we must understand that you need pace and intensity for this type of football.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Will tomorrow be a match-up between two teams with a similar style of play?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Their coach is right when he says we have a similar playing philosophy. Like us, they want to have lots of the ball and are well drilled.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;em&gt;“They have some highly talented players – and not just David Silva. They&amp;#39;ve been working hard as a team for many years, have a strong sense of belonging and passionate fans. We&amp;#39;re lucky there won&amp;#39;t be any spectators in the stands tomorrow because it would have been like a cauldron. But even without them, Real are a hardened, proud, confident outfit.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;em&gt;“You can see the work of the coach behind it all because the players always know what they&amp;#39;re doing, both with and without the ball. We&amp;#39;re going to have to produce a massive performance if we want to come away with a good result.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Will you make changes to the side that beat Benevento?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;em&gt;“I don&amp;#39;t know how many of the starting 11 will change but we&amp;#39;ll certainly put out a competitive team in good physical shape. We must be willing to fight from start to finish tomorrow because it&amp;#39;s going to be very intense.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt; &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;em&gt;(Photo Getty Images)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&#34;text-align: justify;&#34;&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;http://www.sscnapoli.it&#34;&gt;www.sscnapoli.it&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Gennaro Gattuso was full of praise for Napoli&#39;s next opponents Real Socieded as he spoke at a media conference on the eve of their Europa League meeting.

“We&#39;re going to have to turn in a superb performance because we&#39;re playing a tough, talented, well-drilled side,” the boss said. “There&#39;s no other way to play Real than by taking them on at their own game. We must believe in ourselves and our ability to dig in. We know we&#39;re up against a team with a great footballing tradition who can cause problems for us.”

Has last week&#39;s defeat to AZ Almaar left any scars?

“Yes. We know that losing that game makes tomorrow&#39;s match even more important. There are another 15 points to play for of course, but last Thursday was a big blow. We&#39;ll be up against very tricky opponents tomorrow – just look at the league table.”

What did you say to the team about that opening defeat to AZ?

"There wasn&#39;t a lot to say when we analysed the match. Having all that possession without scoring means we were at fault. It&#39;s harder to perform at your best in Europe. We know we must do better. We were too slow – we must understand that you need pace and intensity for this type of football.”

Will tomorrow be a match-up between two teams with a similar style of play?

“Their coach is right when he says we have a similar playing philosophy. Like us, they want to have lots of the ball and are well drilled.”

“They have some highly talented players – and not just David Silva. They&#39;ve been working hard as a team for many years, have a strong sense of belonging and passionate fans. We&#39;re lucky there won&#39;t be any spectators in the stands tomorrow because it would have been like a cauldron. But even without them, Real are a hardened, proud, confident outfit.

“You can see the work of the coach behind it all because the players always know what they&#39;re doing, both with and without the ball. We&#39;re going to have to produce a massive performance if we want to come away with a good result.”

Will you make changes to the side that beat Benevento?

“I don&#39;t know how many of the starting 11 will change but we&#39;ll certainly put out a competitive team in good physical shape. We must be willing to fight from start to finish tomorrow because it&#39;s going to be very intense.”
