Insigne doesn't feel appreciated by Napoli fans

Napoli striker Lorenzo Insigne doesn't feel appreciated by fans.

Insigne has been jeered by his own fans this season.

"Having a Neapolitan playing for Napoli should bring more love and affection," he told Radio Kiss Kiss.

"Here the fans are unusual, as they only see who scores the goals and often don't see what players do for the team.

"At Napoli if you're a striker and you don't score, then you're nobody. I work so hard and sacrifice myself for the team, even when I don't find the net.

"I was accustomed to playing in a 4-3-3 with Zdenek Zeman at Pescara. With Rafa Benitez I am called to act as a winger and this means more sacrifice.

"At the start I had a few difficulties, but now I am gaining confidence and performing this role better and better."
