Capello: I increasingly feel that Tintin and Wheat are difficult to coexist, just like the two Germans in England back then

Capello was interviewed by Gazzetta dello Sport today. He talked about this weekend's blockbuster showdown between Naples and Inter Milan. He believed that it would be difficult for De Bruyne and McTominay to coexist.

About the impact of the Champions League games

"The Champions League games will always have an impact on the weekend leagues. The key is how to transform these impacts into positive energy. For Naples, this is not easy."

How should Naples face Inter Milan?

"Good question... It's difficult for me to answer for the first time, because Naples is an unknown now, and Inter Milan is in a state of extremely high excitement. The key players are fully rested and highly concentrated in the game. And Naples is experiencing the difficulties caused by two-front operations. Difficult. Naples is currently on the verge of danger: I think the biggest risk is that once a mistake is made on the field, the team may fall into frustration. Facing such an overwhelming Inter Milan, it will be very dangerous.”

Inter Milan is not conceding goals now and the offense is good.

"They found their balance. Although there was some struggle in the first 20 minutes of the last game, after that, they controlled the game. I counted, there were at least 8 clear scoring opportunities."

It will be difficult for Naples without Hoylen.

"His absence is a big problem, just like Rachmani and Lobotka: without a central axis it's difficult to find balance. But that's not Conte's only problem."

What else?

"Defense: Against PSV, I saw incredible mistakes that Napoli would never have made last season. In goalkeeping, the final decision needs to be made, between Milinkovic-Savic and Meret: Inter Milan have done a good job here, Sommer has returned to form after his mistake against Juventus. And finally the midfield: As time goes on, I feel more and more difficult for De Bruyne and McTominay coexist. "

But the arrival of the Belgian seems to be an ideal signing to improve the team's level, whether in Serie A or the European War...

"But the chemical reaction between superstars is unpredictable, and I know this. Wheat and Tintin reminded me of Gerrard and Lampard in my England squad: both were enviably the best midfielders at the time, but ended up holding each other back on the pitch. "

What about Inter Milan? What should they not underestimate at the Maradona Stadium?

"Be sure not to play with the arrogance of last season, which cost them huge losses. But Chivu did a very good job in this regard: under his leadership, Inter Milan returned to a state of hunger for victory."
