Napoli all concentrated on Arsenal for deciding-match in Europe

Kalidou Koulibaly’s brace and an Arkadiusz Milik curler were decisive, mathematically relegating Chievo.

“This win takes some of the weight off our shoulders. I saw we were tense, there was concern and worry” the coach told Sky Sport Italia.

Ancelotti was asked if using Milik, Dries Mertens and Lorenzo Insigne together against Arsenal was on the cards to overturn a 2-0 first leg deficit.

“We were surprised by the Arsenal pressing, as we couldn’t play our way out from the back and kept trying to do it rather than attempt long balls. Their second half performance is more like the attitude they’ll have here at the San Paolo, so going for the counter-attack. I chose Insigne and Mertens together because they are both quicker than Milik, so I wanted to use their pace. I think next Thursday the key will be to play a lot of vertical passes”.
