Benitez pleased with Napoli win over Fiorentina

Napoli coach Rafa Benitez was left satisfied with their 1-0 win over Fiorentina.

Gonzalo Higuain proved the matchwinner yesterday.

"I had said Fiorentina were a very strong side and we saw that was true, but even then we had 10 counter-attacks that could've done more damage," Benitez told Sport Mediaset.

"Tonight we saw some important notes and the really positive aspect is that we can still improve.

"Winning here is not easy, but we achieved it and must now focus on preparing for Cagliari."

Now that Napoli are in third place, will they begin to target a top two finish or even the Scudetto?

"I say we need to take it one game at a time, so we'll only talk about Cagliari."
