Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti has paid tribute to Lazio rival Maurizio Sarri.

The two clubs meet this weekend.

Spalletti said, "He has made himself the leader of a rebellion in the way of seeing football.

"At home I always chose to see Sarri's Napoli and applauded him standing up. I don't care better or worse, I took what I wanted to take, when I could I went to watch the games and on the fields of Castel Volturno there are still the passing lines of his football.

"But I don't give a damn about comparisons."
