Napoli coach Carlo Ancelotti says it's always important to put his job in football in perspective.

Ancelotti admits the problems in the game are never as serious as portrayed.

“The spotlight can sometimes disguise the difficulties that these people have, as they are the centre of attention, but remain young men without much life experience," said Ancelotti.

“This is why the locker room is a sacred space, as it's where you really see a person. For example, Zlatan Ibrahimovic gives off an image of himself that is totally different from the one you see in the locker room.

“Life is like football, we must view difficulties as opportunities to grow. It's not easy to do, but we should try not to take ourselves too seriously. We need the utmost balance and objectivity. At times, a problem can seem big and have a simple solution, you must never see an obstacle as insurmountable.

“I too had moments of difficulty, but I never considered them so serious."
