“Italian football needed a game like Fiorentina-Napoli,” Prandelli said to Gazzetta.it.
“There was a great reaction from both teams, strong and determined after their elimination from the Europa League, as they want to continue impressing in the league.
“The skill of Sousa was to review the style of play and the team has put themselves at the complete disposition of the Coach with desire and energy.
“Napoli, on the other hand, have some players who aren’t brilliant any more from a physical point of view, but their base is extraordinary. It’s that of a team capable of overturning any situation and always being in a match.
“The season isn’t over. Napoli are in good health and they’re only three points from Juve, who have other important commitments.
“If I was at Napoli I would think about maintaining this concentration. I think that at training tomorrow Sarri will tell the team that there was a strong reaction from Napoli. And it’s true.
“Now the team must just work hard, then in four matches’ time we’ll see how the table looks.”
