The game set to kick off on Wednesday in Nanjing Olympic Stadium, the former Chelsea manager said it was a game of "great importance".

"It's the Derby d'Italia and will be a difficult match for both sides under such a humid weather condition, I hope that my team can make progress in every match," he said.

Sarri, who was newly-appointed by the Serie A giants, disclosed Cristiano Ronaldo will be the left winger under his tactic system.
