Napoli striker Fabio Quagliarella reacted angrily when he was withdrawn in the dying minutes of Saturday's match against Catania, which ended 0-0.

However, the former Udinese man has looked to dampen the flames surrounding his substitution, emphasising that it was an instinctive reaction.

"There's no problem - neither with the coach nor with my team-mates," Quagliarella told Datasport.

"I'm sorry that I reacted like that, but it was an instinctive reaction related to the fact that we were struggling on the pitch. I swore at myself because I felt fine physically, but I couldn't find the right finish.

"I wanted to take on the world because I'm finally in good shape and I felt that I could have given my best right until the end. I'm like that - I'm spontaneous, I have a sensitive nature and I muttered to myself because I'm emotional.

"But my cursing was only related to the game and was absolutely nothing to do with the coach or my team-mates. I have a great relationship with everyone."
