Carlo Ancelotti laughs off suggestion that Anfield atmosphere will be tough for Napoli stars

Napoli manager Carlo Ancelotti has laughed off the suggestion that the Anfield atmosphere will be tough for his players when his side plays Liverpool in a crunch Champions League fixture next month.

Presuming PSG beat Red Star in Belgrade, Liverpool must win the game against Napoli either 1-0 or by a two-goal margin (if the Italians score) if they are to progress into the Last 16 of the competition and Anfield is sure to be rocking on December 11th.

When asked about the atmosphere and whether it could affect his players, Ancelotti said:

We must go to Anfield with courage and play our game Now let’s think about the Serie A game at Atalanta on Monday, which will be more difficult than Liverpool.

Plenty of managers and players have spoken about not being intimidated by Anfield before big European games and most of them have been made to eat their words. Liverpool will hope that Mr Ancelotti will be eating his after matchday six.
