Napoli manager Maurizio Sarri spoke to Sky Calcio Show after their 0-0 home draw against Fiorentina: "I feel relieved after this game because we rediscover our will, intensity and created opportunities. We faced an in-form opponent, but we made Fiorentina suffer in the first half, then took total control and created many chances. Are we feeling the effects of playing in the Champions League playoff round? Our fitness levels are better than they were in October, but it is clear that the playoff round forces you spend a lot of energy. Zielinski? He was born to play striker, but he plays as a trequartista or as a second striker. He has the qualities to replace Insigne in the lineup. Mertens? He was very mobile and determined. It is difficult to give him a rest because we don't have any other central striker at the moment. We don't have to listen to anyone, as this game should give us some encouragement. The league is is similar to real life: sooner or later, difficult moments will arrive. The stonger one are those who overcomed them the quickest."
