Chelsea Target Warns Them Off A Fierce Fight

Napoli’s star striker Edinson Cavani warns Chelsea that they won’t have an easy time going through to the next round and that the Italian club will be able to defeat them if they defeated City.

“I am always optimistic. If we have beaten Manchester City, we are also able to win against Chelsea,” he told the Daily Star.

“This tie could be spectacular for the people. We are very motivated.

“I am not unhappy with the draw. I am ambitious and want to win by defeating the best rival and this is a big chance.

“Them having the second leg at home does not worry us. At City’s stadium we obtained a point, but the key will be in San Paolo.

“With our fans in Napoli we have nearly a goal advantage. That will be a big pressure to Chelsea.

“If we finish the match without conceding a goal our chances increase to go to the following round because I am sure Napoli can score at Stamford Bridge.”

Cavani was one of Villas-Boas’ January transfer targets, but now having drawn Napoli the deal will certainly not go through and the Italians will probably keep their best players at the club in the attempt to defeat Chelsea.
