Dal Chelsea: Italian job in Champions League

Chelsea have been drawn against Napoli in the Champions League round of 16.
We will be away in the first leg on 21 February and at home in the return game on 6/7 or 13/14 March.
The Italians qualified second in their group behind Bayern Munich, coming through to the knockout stage at the expense of Manchester City, winning their fnial game 2-0 against Villarreal. Coached by Walter Mazzarri, Napoli are currently fifth in Serie A, and play an attractive brand of attacking football centred around the trio of Marek Hamsek, Edinson Cavani and Ezequiel Lavezzi.
Chelsea club secretary David Barnard was at the draw, and said: ‘It will be difficult, we’ve seen Napoli in the same group as Man City which gives some bearing on the quality of Napoli.
‘We all know Andre Villas-Boas has had experience in Italy with Inter and he will know the ins and outs of Napoli I am sure.’
