Angel Rangel: 'Swansea City can be optimistic in Naples'

Angel Rangel has claimed that Swansea City have every reason to be confident ahead of the second leg of their Europa League tie against Napoli on Thursday.

After securing a goalless draw in Wales last week, Rangel believes that Garry Monk's side should be optimistic about their chances of qualifying for the last 16 of the competition.

"Anything is possible," the defender told the club's official website. "Keeping a clean sheet in the first leg was very pleasing and it means we have everything to play for in the second leg.

"In Italy it will be very difficult and I'm sure it will be an intimidating atmosphere.

"But we know on the pitch it's 11 versus 11 and if we play with the same resilience and quality then we have a chance."

The winner of the tie will face either Porto or Eintracht Frankfurt in the next round.
