Napoli coach Mazzarri delighted with Lecce thumping

Napoli boss Walter Mazzarri was delighted with their thumping win over Lecce.

Mazzarri is pleased to now be going into their Champions League showdown with Villarreal on the back of a 4-2 triumph.

"I barely have time to celebrate because there is no respite between one game and another, but I am old and experienced enough to keep celebrations to a minimum anyway and make sure the players keep their feet on the ground," said Mazzarri.

"In the Champions League nobody wants to lose and I know full well it won't be easy against Villarreal, especially as we are away from home. They are a good side and have some important players coming back into the team. Let's not forget they knocked us out of the Europa League last year."
