De Laurentiis: Napoli playing like Serie C team

Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis was unimpressed with their 0-0 draw against Atalanta.

"I did not like this game. We seemed tired, as if the players had been doing the wrong fitness work during the week," moaned the patron.

"I preferred the way Atalanta performed. We tend to have problems against very physical sides, the kind that remind you of Serie B and C.

"In any case, during this time we need to figure out what Donadoni needs. For example, [Ezequiel] Lavezzi seemed tired and irritable. We need another Pocho.

"I consider this season to be overall negative, as once we were out of Serie B we should've made a clean break with all the players, but I listened to more experienced people and this is why we have this squad."
