Napoli coach Ancelotti happy Ounas on scoresheet for Sassuolo win

Napoli coach Carlo Ancelotti was happy to see Adam Ounas score in their 2-0 win over Sassuolo.

He has used 10 different line-ups in as many competitive games this season, with 21 different players.

“When you have reliable professionals in the team, there is no risk in squad rotation," said Ancelotti.

“Everyone puts in the effort and deserves to play, so I can rotate and choose each time within a large group of talented options. I'm not so mad as to change for the sake of it or if a player doesn't give me guarantees.

“We can improve in terms of consistency during a match, without taking these breaks during the 90 minutes.

“We played some really good football today, even if Sassuolo were not an easy opponent to deal with. It would've been more comfortable if we hadn't wasted so many scoring opportunities, but we still controlled the game.

“Adam Ounas made more of an impact with the goal, but Simone Verdi also did great work when attacking and defending on the wing."
