The Partenopei lost in Turin on Saturday night, allowing the Old Lady to supplant them at the top of the Serie A table, but Insigne’s representative saw positive signs.
“Napoli have proved they can hold their own against Juve,” Angelo Ottaiano said on Radio Crc.

“Napoli have proved they can hold their own against Juve,” Angelo Ottaiano said on Radio Crc.
“There’s regret about the manner of the defeat [a late Simone Zaza goal] but I think Napoli causing Juventus so many problems showed they can be a great team.
“Insigne sacrificed himself on many occaisons, for example when he got in front of [Juan] Cuadrado almost on the byline, and for a forward to get back to his own byline means he’s sacrificing.
“It’s clear he didn’t play the game he's become accustomed to, but Napoli played a bit differently all over.”
