Alfred Schreuder, Ajax coach, speaking before the game against Napoli:

"We can certainly win against Napoli. We also have a lot of internationals whose class could come to the fore against Napoli. In terms of club size and budget, Liverpool are the big favourites in this group, but in footballing terms, Napoli run them close. Napoli are a top club."

"Napoli play amazingly as a team. A lot of combination play. They press very well so we have to be good on the ball. They also have weaknesses, but not very many. They aren't unbeaten this season for no reason."
