Napoli and Milan meet on Wednesday night in a crunch Serie A match that will put their recent impressive spells to the test, but their players have exchanged niceties prior to the game.

All eyes will presumably be on San Paolo favourite Fabio Quagliarella and Milan starlet Pato, who traded compliments on Tuesday morning.

“I really like Pato,” ‘Quaglia’ said to Sky Sport24. “Despite his age, he has so much talent and is really good in the penalty box. He is unique.”

And the ‘Duck’ replied, “I faced Quagliarella last term in Milan, but I personally met him in South Africa during the Confederations Cup.

“He is very pleasant and really strong. And he can score from distance in so many ways.”

Napoli and Milan played out a goalless draw at the Fuorigrotta stadium last season, but the Partenopei triumphed 3-1 two years ago, effectively ending the Rossoneri’s hopes of qualifying for the Champions League.
