After Napoli’s shock 0-0 draw against basement boys Chievo Verona, Partenopei manager Carlo Ancelotti was asked to analyse his team’s performance.

“We were too bland in everything we did, from the attack to build-up play to defending. This allowed Chievo to play the kind of defensive game they wanted to. We’ve already put it behind us, as we ought to worry about these games beforehand, not after they’ve already concluded,” he told Sky Sports.

Ancelotti was then quizzed on the fact that the result now puts them eight points behind Juventus and leaves Inter just one point behind them.

“There is no point looking at the Serie A table now. We’ll look and evaluate only at the midway stage.”
