"Even before our goal there were two fine saves from Morgan De Sanctis, then our champion Edinson Cavani pulled out something special.

"I am delighted for the supporters, especially those who came to follow us against Steaua and Lecce."

De Laurentiis was then drawn on Napoli's chances of winning the Scudetto.

"I don't want to make any predictions," he said. "I can only say that I am here to work and I always expect the best from our team.

"We will continue like this until the end of the season and we'll see where we are in May."
