'Hot like chip fat' Frankfurt ready for Napoli in Champions League
Eintracht Frankfurt coach Oliver Glasner said on Monday his side are "hot like chip fat" for this week's Champions League last 16 first leg with Serie A leaders Napoli.
In their first Champions League campaign, the Europa League holders made it through a group featuring Tottenham, Marseille and Sporting Lisbon.
"The team are hot like chip fat. The players have goosebumps," Glasner told reporters before Tuesday's game in Germany.
"We want to advance and we will play to win. I'm going in with great anticipation, confidence and self-assurance."
Glasner said his side were well prepared for their opponents, whose style of football had taken them 15 points clear at the top of Serie A, with just two draws and one loss in the league all season.
"Napoli play un-Italian (football)," referencing Serie A's historical focus on defence.
"They have by far the highest intensity, play very aggressively against the ball, with high pressing and incredibly intensive counter-pressing.
"We know that and have prepared for it."
Glasner, however, warned that "Napoli are not just about attack."
"They are exceptionally well balanced and concede few goals," he added.
Glasner took Frankfurt to the Europa League title in his first season at the club, which saw his team qualify for their first ever Champions League campaign.
Frankfurt midfielder Mario Goetze, who made a Champions League run in 2013 with former side Borussia Dortmund but missed the final loss to Bayern Munich through injury, expected a "gigantic atmosphere" from the home fans.
"We learned a lot in the group stages and we earned our right to play in these two games (home and away against Napoli)."
Glasner said captain Sebastian Rode would return to the squad for the game after missing Saturday's 2-0 win over Werder Bremen with flu, but he "wouldn't play from the start".
