Napoli coach Sarri 'annoyed' despite victory over Feyenoord

Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri was delighted with their Champions League win over Feyenoord.

However, he did admit frustration after the goal they conceded in the 3-1 triumph.

Sarri said, “At this time I am much more annoyed about the goal we conceded. In a competition where goal difference counts, you cannot concede a goal like that 10 seconds from the end. I cannot be satisfied.

“We had a good game, created a lot, but what I don't like is that we allowed Feyenoord absolutely nothing and yet they scored a goal and had a penalty. Clearly we are doing something very wrong.

“We also should've scored more of the goals, considering the chances we had. Feyenoord do suffer under a pressing game, so pouncing on loose balls could've been useful. We did it well in parts, not all the way through.

Dries Mertens, Jose Callejon and Lorenzo Insigne score a lot of goals, but they also help the team out and work to help the defence.

“I am happy with the three points and happy with the overall performance, but conceding a goal like that 10 seconds from the end made me leave the field rather upset…"
