Lorenzo Insigne saw ‘a great performance aside from the four goals’ against Crotone, as Napoli climb towards the top of the table.

The victory puts them in joint third place with Juventus, even though they were docked a point.

“Aside from the four goals, it was also a great team performance and we needed that,” Insigne told Sky Sport Italia.

Lorenzo Insigne saw ‘a great performance aside from the four goals’ against Crotone, as Napoli climb towards the top of the table.

The victory puts them in joint third place with Juventus, even though they were docked a point.

“Aside from the four goals, it was also a great team performance and we needed that,” Insigne told Sky Sport Italia.

“We’re all up there in the table and will try to play for three points every weekend. It’s difficult, we had a few games that were below par, but there are a lot of quality players in the squad and we can rotate knowing whoever steps in can be relied upon.”

Insigne is the captain and coach Gennaro Gattuso said last week he should try not to have ‘such a long face.’

“I don’t know that I’m a leader, I try to work for the team. The coach is right, though, I am the captain and therefore ought to help raise the mood.”

On Thursday, there is the final Europa League group game against Real Sociedad, a head-to-head for qualification into the knockouts.

“It’s a very important match against a big club. I realise it’s different behind closed doors, but we’ll try to make the most of home advantage anyway.”
