Napoli coach Rino Gattuso admits he has great admiration for Lecce counterpart Fabio Liverani.

The two teams meet later today.

“Fabio Liverani is a fine coach and was already enacting a miracle at Ternana," said Gattuso.

“He knows football inside out and makes his teams play good football, taking a positive approach in any stadium. Liverani deserves credit for that.

“It's a plain fact that we cannot underestimate Lecce. We must respect them, as tomorrow is worth more than three points."
