Napoli boss Rafael Benitez has criticised his former club Inter Milan, claiming that the Partenopei have more enthusiasm than his old Nerazzurri side.
Reflecting on his short spell at Inter, Benitez claimed that his Naples side have more eagerness and hunger.
"The truth is that this is a very nice place," he told ESPN. "There are so many things here that make me think that the results are very good despite the short time we have been here. Therefore, I am positive about the future and it can be even better because we will have more leeway.
"That Inter had a higher level, but with an older team. This is a squad with more enthusiasm, more eagerness, hungry and with less age - so it is always easier to influence the players - to make them understand things."
"The difference is that here when you say: 'I want this, this and this...' [and] they try to do it. Also we have taken a step forward because many of the players who have come already know me and understand me perfectly and that is also an advantage."
Benitez took over at Napoli in the summer after a spell at Chelsea.
