SERIE A - Napoli boss Spalletti: "Good win, but we underperformed"

Asked about their pivotal 2-1 away win over Fiorentina, in the mixed zone of Napoli latest match, Serie A current leaders boss, Luciano Spalletti, stated:

"We deserved to win, but we weren’t as good as on other occasions. We didn’t do as well as we can today, we’re certainly capable of better. We were sub-par at points. We improved over the course of the game, feeding our forwards with better passes, but we underperformed, especially at the start of the match.

A positive I’d like to highlight is that we played as a team, even when under. After we drew level we put pressure on Fiorentina, which up until then had caused us problems in one-one-one situations. It was a difficult but well-deserved victory, but we need to improve if we’re to play well in more demanding matches than this one. I’m happy with the lads who up until tonight hadn’t played a lot.

The routine leading to Amir Rrahmani’s header? It’s something our match analyst had drawn our attention to. Every member of our coaching staff plays a big role in the team’s performance".
