Napoli coach Carlo Ancelotti revealed his message to motivate his side to an impressive 1-0 win over Liverpool in the Champions League on Wednesday.
The Partenopei kick-started their Champions League campaign with an stoppage time Lorenzo Insigne goal to seal victory, having laboured to a goalless draw against Red Star last time out.
Having dominated possession and prevented the English visitors from registering a shot on target, Napoli broke the deadlock late on and tactician Ancelotti was impressed with the mentality of his team.
“This was a great test but I saw character and we can take confidence,” the former AC Milan and Chelsea coach claimed in his press conference after the final whistle at the Stadio San Paolo. “Such victories can help to remove doubts and fears.
“I told the players just to have fun, as it is a special evening. You do not always play these kind of games, so I told them to take advantage and enjoy the occasion.”
Napoli have a double-header against French champions Paris Saint-Germain next in Group C, as they look to progress for the second time in three seasons.
