Napoli will only get better, says Benitez

The Spanish coach was delighted with his side's
win over AC Milan but has stressed that they
still have plenty of room for improvement
Napoli boss Rafael Benitez has insisted his side
are yet to hit their best form following their
2-1 Serie A win over AC Milan on Sunday.
Goals from Miguel Angel Britos and Gonzalo
Higuain helped the Partenopei to a narrow win
at San Siro, putting them second in the league
to Roma on goal difference, yet Benitez
believes his team still have plenty of room for
improvement.
"We worked together as a team tonight and
that was very important, as if you have that
then the quality players get the chance to
shine," he told Sky Sport Italia .
"I like the way my team are playing. I'd say we
are now at 73 per cent, but we can still
improve these little things and when we do
that it'll be easier to win."
Benitez then went on to admit that Milan made
life difficult for Napoli, and was thrilled to see
his side battle for the points until the final
whistle.
"Milan played well, so it wasn't easy for us to
counter Mario Balotelli's positioning between
the lines," he explained.
"We needed to make adjustments and are at
the start of this journey, so we need to
improve many things, but a coach has to be
happy when winning away to Milan.
"The important thing was to show character
right to the end. It wasn't our best
performance of the season, but to come here
and win for a fifth consecutive victory [in all
competitions] is impressive."
Balotelli missed his first penalty as a senior
player before being sent off after the final
whistle as Massimiliano Allegri's side failed to
find an equaliser.
