Napoli coach Francesco Calzona was delighted with Giacomo Raspadori for victory at Sassuolo.

The winger didn't get on the scoresheet, but was outstanding for the 6-1 win last night.

Calzona said: "When you enter the game, you have a squad and you have to choose a line, maybe you can also condition some players who have other characteristics. He can play as a winger. He surprised me because with Bara I asked him where he fits best and he told me he said 'where I am needed' and these are important answers.

"If you allow me I want to say one thing. I am very sorry because there was a media lynching against Juan Jesus and I am sorry. He is a fantastic boy. He set out to be available since day one. We quickly forgot that he had a great game against Bara.

"In the goal we conceded in Cagliari there are 5 errors and it's not Juan Jesus' fault, certainly if the errors that happened before maybe him he didn't make a small mistake. Juan Jesus loves Napoli and Naples, he's a cheerful boy and he's giving me a great hand."
