Napoli, Ancelotti: "On the whole the season is a positive. Insigne was only reacting to the result."

Napoli were eliminated from the Europa League with a 1-0 home defeat to Arsenal. The partenopei failed to capitalize on several goal scoring chances, and eventually conceded a first half free kick goal scored by Alexandre Lacazette, which ended the tie. Afterwards, coach Carlo Ancelotti spoke to Sky Sport: "The match lasted 30 minutes, we were having trouble up until the Arsenal goal: we tried to press, we had a good chance from Callejon where we could have come out ahead in the tie. In these sorts of matches you need to profit off these opportunities, since when you allow a goal the situation becomes impossible and there is a natural dropoff of believe in the team. We were slower than we played in the Champions League, and more predictable with the ball. This caused our troubles in the final third. Insigne was upset about the situation, for the way the game was going poorly. It was not tied to the fact that he was being substituted. On the whole, the season was positive for me, I found a group of serious players, we played football at a high level, and the club supported and watched out for me."
