Rafa Benitez says he has no regrets over Napoli’s start to the season, as they prepare to face Inter in the Coppa Italia tomorrow.
The Partenopei have won four of their last five Serie A matches, and are now third, just four points behind Roma in second place.
Benitez’s side were expected to be Scudetto contenders this term, but a poor start means they’re 11 points behind Juventus, however, the Coach insists he has no regrets.

“As far as what we do, we’ve changed almost nothing [since the start of the season],” the Spaniard said in his Press conference ahead of the Inter game.
“We’ve always worked from the same basic ideas.
“We’ve dropped some points along the way, but we can’t change what has happened, we have to look at what will happen in the future. We have to win, not talk.
“The lads are working well, and we’re getting results, but Inter are a very strong team and we need to concentrate.
“The fans should be happy, and make themselves heard. I worry more about the reaction of the Press [than the fans] after matches, we think one game at a time.
“After winning one game, a player is not the best in the world, nor is he the worst after a defeat.
“Fans always want more, and we’ll try our best.”
Meanwhile, Benitez has announced the squad for the match with Inter, with Faouzi Ghoulam recalled.
Napoli squad to face Inter: Rafael, Andujar, Colombo, Maggio, Strinic, Ghoulam, Britos, Koulibaly, Albiol, Henrique, Gargano, Jorginho, Inler, David Lopez, De Guzman, Gabbiadini, Callejon, Mertens, Hamsik, Higuain, Duvan.
