Napoli boss Benitez unhappy with demanding press

Napoli boss Rafa Benitez is upset with the local press.

Benitez feels they deserve greater recognition for when they win.

"When this Napoli achieves something impressive, it is treated as normal. When we don't get a result, everyone points the finger of blame. We are always in the sights of critics and this pushes us on to do better.

"It's not easy to find character and confidence. It depends on the players and the experience they have at the highest level. Not all my players realise that every game and every victory can give a lot of self-belief.

"This team has to look only at itself. If we do what we are capable of, then we can finish third or even better. I have faith in this side and in the second half of the season we'll improve."
