Napoli boss Carlo Ancelotti heaped praise on his team after holding Liverpool to a 1-1 draw at Anfield and insisted that he knew the Italian side would fare well against Jurgen Klopp's outfit as long as they stuck to his plan.
The Partenopei are now without a win in seven consecutive matches and have been in the headlines due to club president Aurelio De Laurentiis having enforced a 'ritiro' training camp lockdown on the players following poor results.
Wednesday's draw with last season's Champions League winners has gone some way to lifting the spirits around Stadio San Paolo, however, with Ancelotti's tactics working well to control a side that often have free rein to play their own style and dominate matches.
