Napoli 'to keep hands on wheel' as Pogba return strengthen Juve

The league leaders have won eight games in a row and 19 of their past 20 in the top flight - a run that began with a 2-1 victory away to Lazio on September 3rd. "We're not listening to those who want us to take our hands off the wheel and start celebrating, because there are still twists and turns to come," said Spalletti.
"Our fans must take to the field with us and not wait for us at the finish line." Napoli are closing in on a first Serie A crown since the days of Diego Maradona, who inspired the club to their only two league titles in 1987 and 1990. They have dropped just seven points over 24 games this season and midfielder Eljif Elmas insisted Napoli have no intention of slowing down.
"Eighteen points is a big margin but honestly we're not looking at the table because we want to try to win every game we have left," Elmas told 'Radio Kiss Kiss'. "We're playing good football and our aim is to maintain this pace and keep doing what we're doing because we deserve to be where we are.
"We're not getting carried away and we're not going to ease up at all." Lazio are back in the Champions League places following wins over Salernitana and Sampdoria but city rivals Roma, in fifth, will be eager to atone for their shock midweek loss to Cremonese. Roma will be without Jose Mourinho for Saturday's visit of Juventus after the Portuguese coach was hit with a two-match ban after receiving his third red card of the season against Cremonese.
"I'm emotional but not crazy," said Mourinho. The league said after the match he also "entered the referees' dressing room without permission and made seriously offensive statements. "For the first time in my career a referee has spoken to me in an unjustifiable way," added Mourinho. "To react like that, something must have happened. We need to see if we can do anything from a disciplinary perspective."
AC Milan have recovered from a dreadful start to 2023 by winning their past four games in all competitions without conceding. Stefano Pioli's side face Fiorentina on Saturday ahead of next week's second leg against Tottenham in the last 16 of the Champions League, while Inter Milan host Lecce on Sunday.
