Napoli winger Alisson Santos previews meeting with Leao and Milan: “A tough opponent”

**Napoli winger Alisson Santos believes the home crowd will give the players a huge hand when they take on AC Milan on Monday.**

To call it a big game on Easter Monday would be an understatement. Napoli are one point below Milan in third place going into the clash, with the Rossoneri six points behind league-leaders Inter, who welcome Roma to San Siro tonight looking to go nine clear for the time being at least.

There is a feeling of wanting revenge for both Massimiliano Allegri and Antonio Conte. For the former it is because of the Supercoppa Italiana defeat in Riyadh back in December, while for the latter [**the 2-1 loss at San Siro**](https://sempremilan.com/ac-milan-2-1-napoli-match-report) against the Diavolo earlier in the campaign was a bitter one.

Alisson Santos gave a lengthy interview to La Repubblica in which he spoke about Napoli’s season so far and also previewed the huge clash at the Maradona tomorrow, with [MilanPress](https://www.milanpress.it/napoli-alisson-santos-milan-maradona/) relaying his words.

**How far this Napoli can go?**

“As high as possible, but we know we have to take it one game at a time. It won’t be easy, and we have to work hard.”

**Milan come to Naples tomorrow…**

“It’s tough for everyone at the Maradona. I played here with Sporting, who are strong and are now in the Champions League quarter-finals. But we lost.”

**What kind of match do you expect?**

“I really enjoy big matches, and I hope we can give our all to win. We know it will be very difficult, Milan are a tough opponent, but we have to go after the three points.”

**You’ll face Rafael Leao…**

“He’s a friend of mine. I met him in Lisbon. I think he’s a great player. We’ll see if he’ll be there, I know he was injured.”
