Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri has revealed that he expects an 'angry' Napoli when the two sides clash in the first leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final match. The Old Lady currently sit at the top of the Serie A with 66 points, 12 more than third-placed Napoli.
Then there is the Gonzalo Higuain factor that has widened the rift between the supporters of the two giants. The Argentine sealed a record £79 million move from Naples to Turin last summer, a transfer that did not go well with fans of the Light Blues. Lastly, the club from Naples lost 2-0 to Atalanta at home last weekend. This was their first league defeat in 15 games and Allegri expects the team to respond angrily when their rivals Juventus come calling. Speaking at a pre-match press conference, he said:
"We will face a Napoli who will be very angry about the defeat against Atalanta.
"It is not the case that in three days they have lost everything they have done well in these two years, so it will be a complicated game.
''We have the Coppa Italia and we must create the right conditions in order to reach the final, it would be our third final in a row, and then maybe we can try to win it.
"Above all it is cup semi-final, where the most important thing is not conceding goals, especially because we play the first match at home."
