Napoli's season appeared to be heading for trouble just as it was getting started. After their 3-1 home defeat by leaders AC Milan on Nov. 22, there were reports of a heated confrontation between coach Gennaro Gattuso and his players.
"Sometimes they love me, but I bet that sometimes they take out my picture in the morning and spit in my face," Gattuso said after his side's 2-1 win over Sampdoria on Sunday."But it's part of my job." Victory would lift Napoli into second in Serie A above Inter, providing Juventus, on the same number of points, do not better their goal difference should they beat Atalanta on Wednesday.Inter may have won their last four successive league games, but a 0-0 draw with Shakhtar Donetsk last week meant Antonio Conte's side finished bottom of their Champions League group.
"In fact, they approached that match in a different way. Think before you ask the questions," he said.
