http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 manager, Walter Mazzarri, is ruing his team’s wastefulness in front of goal after yet another draw in the ongoing season.
The Partenopei side played their 10th stalemate of the season, as they were held to a goalless draw by A.C Milan at San Siro on Sunday, February 5. A.C Milan striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029 was shown a red-card for slapping

Mazzarri believes that his team could have gone onto win had they taken their chances. However, he is satisfied with the result and insists that it was a good performance from his team against the Italian Champions. The manager
believes that the tough fixture schedule is taking its toll on his team’s performances.
The former Sampdoria boss insisted that his team created open scoring opportunities but lacked the final ball.
The tactician is looking forward to the first-leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final against Siena on Thursday, February 9, and insists that it is crucial in terms of their season’s progress. Napoli drift third-placed, Udinese, by
10 points, and Mazzarri is looking to close the gap on top three positions.
While talking to the reporters, Walter Mazzarri said,
“As far as we are concerned, it was a good performance against a great side like Milan. The many games in close succession probably took away some sharpness in front of goal and that is aggravating our crisis, but in terms of performance
I have no complaints to make about this or our last few games.”
“Once again, we lacked the final strike. We try to give our all and have a ‘Final’ against Siena on Thursday, because that Coppa Italia semi is a crucial stepping stone in our season. As for Serie A, we need to fight back and cut
the gap as much as possible.”
Striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ezequiel-Lavezzi-c13073, made a comeback to the starting line-up after missing the action due to injury for almost five weeks. The striker was unimpressive during his stay on the pitch and failed to make an impact. However, Mazzarri
is confident that the Argentine will bounce back strongly in the future games.
