Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis has launched an amazing attack on his Argentine players.

De Laurentiis is furious that Jesus Datolo and Ezequiel Lavezzi have been forced to delay their returns from Argentina due to misplaced passports.

"First it happened to Datolo, now Lavezzi. We are tired of having to deal with careless Argentines and their scant professionalism," De Laurentiis said.

"To Datolo, I'd say that the oversight was the fault of the Argentine FA. For Lavezzi, it wasn't like this. He was in the stands and should have been only interested in getting back as soon as possible to get to know his new trainer."
