Mazzarri confident of good result
apoli head coach Walter Mazzarri is hopeful his troops can secure a positive result against Liverpool in the Europa League.[LNB] The Italian club host Liverpool at the Stadio San Paolo hoping to take a big step towards qualification from Group K.[LNB]Their form this season has been encouraging - they are currently fourth in Serie A - and considerably better than Liverpool's, who have slipped to second-bottom of the Premier League.[LNB]Liverpool's form in Europe has been much better, with five wins and a draw through both qualifying and the group stage so far.[LNB]Napoli, like their opponents, are trying to recapture former glories and Mazzarri believes facing teams like Liverpool can only help in that quest.[LNB]They drew their opening two games against Utrecht and Steaua Bucharest but Liverpool pose the biggest threat.[LNB]"Playing an important side like Liverpool is another step for the club to grow," he said.[LNB]"We have to hold up Napoli's name though, but without forgetting about the league, which is our primary objective.[LNB]"But having said that, we will give our maximum because we really want to get through the group."[LNB]Despite Liverpool's troubles this season, and the fact they have left key duo Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard at home, Mazzarri is taking nothing for granted.[LNB]"They have a great squad. An individual is not able to dictate the team's strengths," he added.[LNB]"I'm more worried because it's clear (Roy Hodgson's) studied a line-up that could give us more problems.[LNB]"I want a great match. I would like the team to play good football and produce a positive performance.[LNB]"I don't want only to secure a good result. I want to achieve it in the best possible fashion.[LNB]"We want to give happiness to our supporters and we will play with soul, regardless of the possible outcome."
