Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Italiano says they'll be ready for Napoli in tonight's Supercoppa Italiana semifinal in Saudi Arabia.

The winner will meet the victor of tomorrow's other semifinal between Inter Milan and Lazio.

Italiano said, "I think too much time has passed since the league match with Napoli, a lot of things happened and so I think that was a good parenthesis for us. We managed to express ourselves well, but tomorrow will be a completely different story.

“We start from just one objective, to be able to get through this semi-final and get to play for this trophy. Tomorrow I am convinced that we will find a different, strong Napoli, champions of Italy, with many quality players and champions available.

“I hope that in these days we have prepared for them in the right way, we know we are facing players who are always champions, people who can win matches.

“I hope we have prepared in the best way, in the league we really approached them in the right way and developed in the best way."

On playing in Saudi, he added: “Everything was fine, we didn't travel a lot, but where we train everything was fine. From the changing rooms to the pitch, you can see that they want to grow, and we want to bring this sport to an important level, to get to know this culture."
