Napoli goalkeeper cautious of Villarreal clash

Published on: 18 February 2016

Napoli‘s Pepe Reina is aware of the challenges his side will face in their Europa League fixture against Villarreal and has warned his team-mates ahead of the match.

The Spaniard will return to the Estadio El Madrigal, where he played with Villarreal for three seasons, as he hopes to help his side to a victory on Thursday evening. However, he refuses to underestimate the opposition.

“It will be a tough game,” Reina told Sky Sport Italia.

“The Spanish side are more relaxed than us because they have the luxury of sitting in fourth place and to know that they can reach the preliminary stages of the Champions League if they remain there.

“Because of this, they will be at a greater peace of mind going into this match than we will.”
