Napoli coach Donadoni denies Lavezzi rift

Napoli coach Roberto Donadoni insists he hasn't fallen out with Ezequiel Lavezzi.

The Argentina international was fined earlier this week after he was five minutes late for a training session.

Asked if an argument had arisen, Donadoni replied: “I deny it in a categorical way. I have never had any discussion with Lavezzi. We are talking about something that doesn't exist.

“There is nothing otherworldly about the fine given to Lavezzi. If Amodio had got a fine you wouldn't even have alluded to it. We all want to grow, even 'El Pocho'. We are working for this.”
