Napoli coach Carlo Ancelotti says he wants to bring more steel to the team's play.

Ancelotti is eager to move away from the style of predecessor Maurizio Sarri.

He explained, “I think at the end of the day quality does pay off, but the quality must be supported by many other values that are just as important, such as determination, grit and in certain circumstances hunger, the taking on of responsibility.

“It's what in Naples you call 'cazzimma'. I'd like to see that kind of Napoli. If you ask me: 'Do you prefer to have a team with character or one that plays good football?' My response is, I prefer a team that plays good football. If you have a team that plays well and has character, then that's even better.

“I believe a Coach has to seek quality football, then character and a winning mentality grow with time. Sometimes you get players who are a little fragile in terms of character, but if you give them a very clear idea of what they have to do on the pitch with organisation, then they start to get more confident.

“If you send a nervous player out there with few tactical indications, he's not going to perform."
