Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis is delighted following the 3-2 win over Juventus in Turin on Saturday night.
David Trezeguet and Sebastian Giovinco gave the Old Lady a two goal cushion and the game seemed over. However, comeback masters Napoli returned to haunt Juve.
A Marek Hamsik double and a good finish from Jesus Datolo saw Walter Mazzarri's men take home maximum points for the first time in 21 years. It's a big result for the Azzurri, and inevitably, De Laurentiis made some big statements after the game.
"I think we will continue to see good football from here on and our fans will support us..." the chief told Sky Sport Italia.
"I am really happy with the Mazzarri era. He is reaping the rewards of his hard work. The players are following him and I am satisfied with the points."
Despite the result, the chief is not getting carried away with things as he keeps his feet on the ground.
"We cannot think about prizes. We have to keep focused and see what happens at the end of the season," added the Italian.
"Our strength? I think that the strategy has plenty to do with it. It's about the coach motivating the players and getting them ready psychologically."
