Napoli president De Laurentiis: "We are not happy to be drawn with Liverpool, I will ask UEFA for an explanation"

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis, interviewed on Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli, had comments on a number of subjects surrounding his club. After a heavy defeat away to Sampdoria on Sunday, De Laurentiis explained the process of handling things under the charge of a new coach: "We will not hold any trials. We knew that the first 7/8 matches would be a feeling out period for a coach who has been away from Italy for some time. I apologize to the fans who want to win everything right away, but I expected a few bumps in the road. Ancelotti needs to get to know the new players as they need to get to know him: it will take time and you also have to consider the opponents. We will remain calm, these are years of investment and growth for Napoli. Koulibaly? His extension was already in our plans, we did not want to sell him. He is one of the best in the world. Juventus is a big club, but if we had bought Cristiano Ronaldo and in the first three matches he didn't score, it would have incited the revolution. The strong principle of Juventus is knowing how to confront every problem with extreme calm. Champions League? We are bitter, I will ask for an explanation from UEFA. Liverpool, Champions League finalists, are put in pot 3? It is a disastrous anomaly."
