Napoli star Insigne: My rapport with Ancelotti is a bit odd

The attacker admits that he has had verbal altercations with his trainer but that a mutual respect has remained in place throughout

Lorenzo Insigne says he does not always see eye-to-eye with Napoli coach Carlo Ancelotti but has underlined his commitment to delivering success this season.

Ancelotti guided Napoli to a second-placed Serie A finish in his first season in charge at Stadio San Paolo last time out, with Insigne scoring 10 goals in 28 league appearances.

But Napoli are fourth in the table after seven matches in 2019-20 – already six points behind leaders Juventus – while one goal in Insigne's past five league games represents a disappointing run of form.
