He is always present in attack and, as I said before, he adds extra value to Serie A."It's a pleasure to watch him playing in Italy." Defeat at Allianz Stadium was Napoli's second in eight competitive matches under Ancelotti.The ex-Bianconeri boss received a frosty reception from the home fans that he insisted came as no concern. "The chants were normal. I'll console myself with the 2003 Champions League trophy," the 59-year-old said, referencing his AC Milan side's triumph over Juve.</blockquote>
