Juventus coach Andrea Pirlo was happy with the manner of their Supercoppa triumph over Napoli.

Cristiano Ronaldo struck first before Lorenzo Insigne missed a penalty for Napoli, then Alvaro Morata put the game beyond the Azzurri with Juve's second.

Pirlo said, “Since the start of the season we've been trying to play this fluid style of football, but unfortunately every week someone is missing, so it's difficult for us to keep the same line-up with any regularity.

“After the game the other night, we didn't deserve that much criticism considering all we've done this season, so I am glad they got this trophy tonight."

Of his own critics, Pirlo continued: “It's part of the game, it's easy to build people up and knock them down. I'm used to it, though, as I had ups and downs in a very long playing career. I know there's a solid club behind me, so I can focus and continue doing my work.

“It's natural there is going to be criticism when you come from nowhere to lead Juventus, but the results will speak for me and the team."
