The best training. Rafa Benitez does not snubbing the Europa League and also ranks Gonzalo Higuian at the center of the attack against Sparta Prague. Illustrious goes outside, inside Mertens. You have to win and convince, to regain the Neapolitan public that continues to encourage the team, despite the difficult times, but wants assurance that the company aims to strengthen the Naples already ‘in the transfer market in January. Poor public. No more than 20 thousand fans. Mertens, Hamsik, Callejon and Higuain: they will have to bring Napoli back on track.

At the 32nd Callejon is to rattle the crossbar with a shot of Prague from the top right hand side. 51st great job of Higuian that cross in the center and allows Mertens to put it inside. It is 2 to 1 for the Blues.
At the 65th Dries Mertens Callejon’s cross struck home once again. Rejoice but the referee warns him and cancels the goal. Had scored with one hand. How Diego Maradona. At the 70th comes out to applause Pipita enters Michu. At the 76th Callejon still dangerous with a nice shot from outside smanacciato to the side by the goalkeeper. 80 minutes still Dries Mertens. Serpentine between opponents, shot and scored. It is the 3 to 1 A good Napoli but suffers too much on defense, manifested great limitations. In short, the Napoli which debuts in Europa League win well but still not convincing at all.
