Lazio boss Stefano Pioli is delighted with the form of Felipe Anderson.

Pioli was asked about the midfielder after their 1-1 draw against Napoli in the first-leg of the Coppa Italia semifinal.

"He always had the potential and that was beyond doubt. He arrived from a different League, a different culture, he's young and just needed time. He's probably playing more consistently now and has found the confidence in himself.

"I still think he can improve a great deal, being more consistent over the 90 minutes and sharper in his decision-making."
