RB Leipzig are doing everything they can to accomodate their Europa League opponents Napoli at the Red Bull Arena on Thursday, including constructing a special room in the away dressing room so that Maurizio Sarri, the Napoli boss, can smoke.

Sarri is known to be a heavy smoker, and the German side have also said they will switch off the smoke alarms to help him out further. The room will be seperated from the players by a temporary wall. 

"Sarri is a passionate smoker, that's really incredible. I have never seen anyone who smokes so much. Thank God he has to hold back during games," Marek Hamisk, Napoli's captain, said recently. 

Napoli lost the first leg 3-1 in Italy, and have a mountain to climb if they are to reach the next round of the competition, but their focus remains on winning their first Scudetto since Diego Maradona left the club, and their lead over Juventus is still a single point.
