De Biasi hails Udinese hat-trick hero Di Natale

Udinese coach Gianni de Biasi hailed Antonio Di Natale after his hat-trick in their victory over Napoli.

Di Natale struck all three goals in Udinese's 3-1 triumph, inflicting a first defeat on Walter Mazzarri since his appointment as Napoli coach.

De Biasi smiled: “We did better in the first half, strangely, when it was XI against XI. We fought to the end and the result reflects that hunger. It wasn't our best performance.

"Antonio Di Natale is the symbol of this team, both on the field and in the locker room. He is tied to Udinese for life.”
