Mazzarri insists Napoli were superior to Inter Milan

Napoli coach Walter Mazzarri insists they were the superior team after last night's 0-0 draw with Inter Milan.

Mazzarri accused Inter of time-wasting after the stalemate.

"I'm happy with the performance, but in terms of football and chances it's a shame, as we deserved the victory," said Mazzarri.

"Napoli have almost always put their opponents under pressure, as we did today with Inter. Unfortunately we haven't been lucky recently, as in the last two games we hit the woodwork five times.

"For a while now we have deserved more than we actually took home. Inter were struggling a great deal this evening except for about 10 minutes, when we needed a breather.

"Goran Pandev created their only real chance and it would've been incredible for Inter to win it considering the way the game went.

"The fact Inter resorted to time-wasting is a compliment to us and shows how much trouble they were having."
