Arsenal should face an opponent of the Europa League trophy-obsessed this season, announced Napoli winger Lorenzo Insigne.
Last season, the Italian finished second in Serie A with the club under the direction of Maurizio Sarri and is again looking for silverware in 2019.
He made his senior debut in January 2010 and, over the past nine years, he became one of the leading stylists in the history of the Naples-based team.
Despite his years of service, he has only won one Coppa Italia trophy with his original club and, as a local talent, he feels more and more pressure supporters to do more for the jersey.
The quarter-finals of Napoli Europa League with Arsenal offer Serie A clubs an opportunity to get closer to their goals: win a major trophy and bring it back to Naples.
"I would expect to face an Arsenal team with such quality that I could not choose which one is the best," said Insigne, reported by Football Italia.
"They will have the tempo, the intensity and a tactical organization, we have two complicated games ahead of us and then, if we get there, the semi-finals.
"It will not be easy, but we are not afraid, it's our craziest wish."
Insgine has been the target of speculation during the latest transfer windows as one of the most highly rated players in Europe.
However, the 27-year-old would prefer to stay and ensure success despite the emotional burden of his performances.
"The pressure is stronger for me than for the other players, because people are expecting something more than a Neapolitan in Naples," he said.
"Sometimes this responsibility is an energizing force with positive effects, but there are times when it can be counterproductive and therefore negative.We are not machines, remember, a period of inactivity is inevitable."
"As long as I am in Naples, I will always give 110% and I want to stay here a long time.I also know that I am 28 years old and that it can happen, during a career, to to receive an offer that I can not refuse, it could happen, yes.
"It's getting on my nerves to always be on the verge of success and to find myself empty-handed, with no trophy to climb to the skies." That also irritates my teammates, because the camp of Naples is so strong and deserves this moment of satisfaction. . "
