Benitez pleased with Napoli win over Udinese

Napoli boss Rafa Benitez was happy with their 3-1 win over Udinese.

Manolo Gabbiadini was among the goalscorers for Napoli.

"I have to be satisfied as we won and could've scored more goals, but we also made a mistake to let Udinese back in after 20 minutes when we were in total control," Benitez told Sky Sport Italia.

"I think we stepped up the intensity and concentration after the break, so controlled the entire second half.

"These are good players, but our team is very attack-minded and can sometimes be unbalanced going forward. I've seen teams who defend with five at the back - if I did that, I could just sit on the bench with a cigarette and they'd take care of it!"
