Napoli coach Gattuso mixed emotions after victory over Sassuolo

Napoli coach Gennaro Gattuso had mixed emotions after their 2-0 defeat of Sassuolo.

Gattuso remains unhappy at both ends of the pitch.

“We created nine chances, should've finished the first half with a three or four goal advantage. Considering how much we create, we don't score enough and concede too many, so inevitably we run risks," Gattuso told DAZN.

“Games can change, as we were awful in the first half against Parma, but then did better after the break. We must learn how to put the ball in the net.

“I didn't see a 50-50 game. Offside is part of the sport, you know… You cannot compare what we created to what Sassuolo did. Maybe you saw a different game to me. I am defensive because I saw a good performance and want to stand up for my players.

“Let's not forget Sassuolo held Inter at San Siro, beat Lazio at the Olimpico and held Juventus 3-3. They have a strong identity, are a great team and it was by no means easy."
