Cesena coach Marco Giampaolo felt his players were naive for their defeat to Napoli.

Napoli survived a scare to win 3-1 away to 10-man Cesena with Ezequiel Lavezzi, Hugo Campagnaro and Marek Hamsik on target.

"Napoli proved they are a strong side. Facing them was already difficult with 11 men on the field, but we were naive and the red card was decisive," said Giampaolo.

"We found the strength to equalise and put in a good performance, but they took over after the dismissal and the goals were down to individual errors.

"We've got to improve in terms of the collective movement and playing without the ball.

"Adrian Mutu did some important things tonight, as we when he runs at opponents he is very dangerous."
