“To this point you have been disunited inside the pitch, and united only outside of it,” the Napoli President remonstrated.
“Now you are under my lens. I will be making no allowances for anybody.
“I'm expecting great things from you, you must prove that you are champions.
“So far we've had a few laughs, but now your concentration levels must always be at their highest.
“Between you and me there is a pact of honour.”
Napoli face Parma tomorrow evening at the Stadio San Paolo before heading out to Doha for the Italian Supercup against Juventus.
