Palermo boss Iachini pleased with Dybala form

Palermo boss Beppe Iachini was delighted with Paulo Dybala's performance in victory over Napoli.

Dybala didn't get on the scoresheet, but was a big influence on the win.

"The important thing is that Paulo remains concentrated. We know the agents are talking to the club and we hope the situation will move forward," said Iachini.

"Our idea was to press the midfielders and quickly send the ball forward for our attacking runs, at the same time stopping Napoli from supplying their strikers. We couldn't leave their central midfielders with time on the ball to pick the right passes with their excellent technique.

"My players worked hard to break up the play and then go on the counter, often with the right quality to score.
