Sarri satisfied as Napoli overcome Carpi

Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri was satisfied with their 1-0 win over Carpi.

Napoli weren't at their best on the day.

Carpi were in a good condition both physically and mentally," Sarri admitted after the win. “It was always going to be a complicated game.

“In the first half there was an obvious penalty in our favour, then [Jose] Callejon scored a valid goal. There were a few mistakes in terms of refereeing, but we were clear-headed when they countered.

Carpi are the best team in Serie A in terms of attacking in depth, and this was the danger that they posed.

“The lads were pretty good in damming the qualities of their rivals. It's all good, we'll start thinking about Juventus from tomorrow.

“We'll visit the Stadium with a view to playing our own football and showing the pride of our people."
