Gonzalo Higuain - NapoliBoth Gonzalo Higuain and Blerim Dzemaili believe that Napoli are in good form in the lead up to their opening Champions League game against Borussia Dortmund.

Napoli maintained their perfect start to Serie A with a 2-0 victory against Atalanta and Higuain has explained how well he is settling in at the club.

“I am very happy for the goal and satisfied to have given my fans a moment of joy,” the Argentinian striker told Sport Mediaset.

“The rapport with Rafa Benitez is ideal, as we work well together and hope this is on the beginning, because we want to aim high.”

On Wednesday Napoli host Borussia Dortmund who were the runners up in the Champions League last season, but Higuain insists that Napoli will treat it like any other game.

“We have to stay calm and enjoy the victory over Atalanta.” Higuain added. “We’ll talk about Dortmund the day before the game.”

However, Napoli midfielder Dzemaili was prepared to talk about the Germans in more detail, who thrashed Hamburg 6-2 in the Bundesliga on Saturday evening.

“We are not afraid of Borussia Dortmund,” the Swiss international told Sky Sport Italia.

“They are an excellent side, but we are aware that we can beat anyone at the San Paolo. They are in good shape and won 6-2, but we want the victory.

“It is a very difficult group, but we will give it our all to reach the last 16.”

The other match on Wednesday in Group F is Olympique Marseille-Arsenal.
