Torino coach Mazzarri left impressed by Napoli for stalemate

Torino coach Walter Mazzarri was left impressed by Napoli after their 0-0 draw on Sunday.

The Granata were rescued by veteran goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu with a series of impressive saves.

“I saw a great Napoli performance this evening, with determination and vehemence. So much has changed since I left here, there are many technically-gifted players all through the squad," Mazzarri told Sky Sport Italia.

“We got three or four things wrong on a technical level and the only one we had who could keep up with their pace was Ola Aina, but he made mistakes too.

Napoli were superior all over the field, I was really impressed, they just wouldn't let us play. I congratulate Napoli on their performance and also congratulate my team on this point.

“We have overall picked up fewer points than we deserved and there were some refereeing errors that prevented us from getting several wins. It's disappointing, as with those results we'd be talking about an incredible Torino campaign."
