Napoli boss Benitez raps media: You're so wrong!

Napoli coach Rafa Benitez has hit out at reports over their transfer policy.

Benitez insists scribes are getting the speculation all wrong.

"With regards to Zuniga and his position on the wing, director Riccardo Bigon and I were surprised by the lack of logic applied to news about our transfers," wrote Benitez on his personal website.

"Currently we are not searching for a right-back because we already have three or four players who can cover that position.

"Similarly, we aren't looking for centre-backs, as with the arrival of Koulibaly we have five alternatives in that role.

"Nor are we on the look-out for a goalkeeper. I speak to Rafael daily to keep up with his recovery progress. Andujar and Colombo are reliable defenders of our goal.

"Therefore, I'd ask for a little precision when people name players to take our fans off course."
