Napoli chief Bigon confident fans are united with team

Napoli director Riccardo Bigon is confident the team and the fans remain united.

Speaking before their 6-2 win over Hellas Verona, Bigon reflected upon the attack of the team bus by fans in Switzerland.

"We have barred players from talking to the media ahead of this game to ensure they relax and can focus after a difficult and intense week," Bigon told Sky Sport Italia.

"Some of the reports on what happened in Berne were accurate, some were not. I prefer not to comment. I can only say there is no split between the team and the fans. It was just a small group in Switzerland who protested in what I would say is an exaggerated fashion."
