Maurizio Sarri was impressed with Napoli “temperament” after a 3-2 defeat to OGC Nice that saw Jose Callejon sent off.
This was the first international friendly of pre-season and represented a roller-coaster, as the Partenopei went 1-0 down almost immediately, 2-1 up, then lost 3-2.
“I saw positive things, apart from the result,” said Coach Sarri.

“I saw positive things, apart from the result,” said Coach Sarri.
“There’s a lot of work to do because we’ve only been together for 20 days. We played against a team considerably more advanced in its pre-season preparation, seeing as Ligue 1 begins next week.
“Even after going down to 10 men, the team showed a strong desire to get back on level terms. I liked the character and temperament of my team.”
