Napoli coach Mauricio Sarri was relieved with victory over Bologna.

Arek Milik came off the bench to bag a brace in the 3-1 victory over Bologna, sending the Partenopei temporarily to the top of the Serie A table.

“I was surprised by Milik's scoring rate, but not by his performances, because I knew he was very strong. I do think we need to take some pressure off him, as he's 22 years old and only had a couple of Serie A appearances," Sarri told Sky Sport Italia.

“He cannot be compared to the top players and must be given the time and space to grow. I am not a Coach who imposes my choices on the transfer strategy. I was asked what I thought of Milik and gave a very positive response, but I know my job and don't need to teach the talent scouts and directors of sport their jobs."
