Napoli coach Ancelotti happy to beat Sassuolo in Coppa

Napoli coach Carlo Ancelotti was pleased with their 2-0 win over Coppa Italia opponents Sassuolo.

Arkadiusz Milik scored one and set up the other for Fabian Ruiz for the round of 16 triumph.

“There are four to go, even if the next is very tough and exciting. We'll end up playing Milan twice in three days between Serie A and the Coppa, so that will be a strange one for me," Ancelotti told Rai Sport.

“The Coppa Italia is one of our objectives for this season and we'll give our all. With the squad at our disposal, we have to fight it out on level terms with everyone.

“If we won't take first place in Serie A, as we are a little behind in the table, then we can still fight for second. We had the right approach this evening and you never know after a winter break how the team will react."
