Napoli coach Walter Mazzarri stood by his axing of Fabio Quagliarella for their defeat to Fiorentina last night.
Mazzarri took a risk with his starting XI by dropping Quagliarella for German Denis.
The coach said: "Quagliarella knows that in this moment he's not at his best form, so I preferred to rest him. Denis did well and I'm trying to use the players in good shape."
