Napoli coach Calzona: I want to say this about Juan Jesus...

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 Barça 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 Barça.

"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."
