Matteo Politano, who scored Napoli's first on their way to a 3-1 win over Verona on Saturday, has already shifted his focus to getting another in his next outing on home turf.

"I'm happy about the goal, now I hope I can score another at the Maradona," he said.

"It's a victory that we really wanted and we are happy that it came after a game that we dominated for large stretches."

Politano added: "We are a united group that has the right mentality to continue on this path. This victory has to be the first of a winning run for us.

"There is great harmony in this group. I'm sorry for my reaction to the coach in the last game and I hold my hands up over that. I have a great relationship with [Rudi] Garcia – I feel his trust, I'm playing consistently and I want to continue to give my best for the team".
