Valdifiori: Napoli must make Empoli match their own

Former Napoli and Empoli midfielder Mirko Valdifiori has shared his thoughts ahead of the clash between the two teams.

They can’t afford to make mistakes, especially if they want to close the gap at the top.” He added that Empoli would be aiming to earn points for their survival, while acknowledging that Napoli is an “internationally renowned team” aware of their strengths.
