Marek Hamsik hailed Napoli's battling qualities in their victory at Sampdoria.
Napoli recorded their first win in Genoa for 14 years.
"I think that we weren't down and out in the entire game," Hamsik said. "We had a great reaction after their goal and so we brought home a very important result.
"It's fundamental to answer the critics. Winning away from home is always wonderful. We managed to turn around a tough game against Sampdoria."
