‘Napoli lucky for Milik start’

Raul Albiol says Napoli are “lucky” that Arkadiusz Milik has started his Partenopei career in such clinical fashion.

Milik made it four goals in his first four appearances for Napoli against Dynamo Kiev as the Partenopei kicked off their Champions League group campaign with a 2-1 win in Ukraine, and Albiol is delighted with the striker’s adaptation.

“I’m happy for the win yesterday, it was important to start the Champions League well,” the defender told Sky Sport Italia.

“I’m happy for the win yesterday, it was important to start the Champions League well,” the defender told Sky Sport Italia.

“We have to continue like this. The objective is to reach the second round [last 16]. If we get there [by finishing] first in the group, it’s even better.

“We’ve been together for three years and we have more experience now.

“We play the football that we know well, and now we all understand the Coach’s ideas. We have fun on the pitch.

“We know [Milik’s] strong, it’s lucky for us that he’s started like this. For us, his goals are worth points.”
