Carlo Ancelotti criticised his Napoli side after they warmed up for Wednesday’s Champions League visit of Liverpool with a 3-1 defeat to title rivals Juventus in Serie A.
They took the lead through Dries Mertens but Mario Mandzukic nodded Juve level and then added another early in the second half.
Napoli’s hopes were effectively dashed when Mario Rui was sent off for a second booking and Leonardo Bonucci completed the scoring.
“I was angry with my team because we started strong and took the lead, but then started getting sluggish and allowed Juventus to regain their confidence,” Ancelotti said.
“I think the referee made a superficial decision. Mario Rui got the second yellow card after a good long wait to consider it.
The two yellows came from the superficiality of the referee.
“We need to improve in terms of character, consistency and experience, but we did well even when down to 10 men.
“A defeat can happen, just as Juventus can lose in Naples.
We have to keep improving under many aspects, but I am convinced we’ll be competitive right to the end.”
Liverpool fly to Naples tomorrow to prepare for Wednesday’s showdown at the Stadio San Paolo.
The Reds drew 0-0 on their only previous visit in the Europa League in October 2010.

Jurgen Klopp storms onto pitch and rages at Liverpool star after Chelsea lows

Jurgen Klopp made a beeline for summer signing Xherdan Shaqiri and gave him some animated feedback on his performance in Liverpool’s defeat to Chelsea on Wednesday evening. The Reds took a second-half lead at Anfield in the Carabao Cup through Daniel Sturridge, but were stung late on by a tap-in from full-back Emerson before Eden Hazard scored an incredible solo goal to put the visitors into the next round. At full-time, Klopp exchanged pleasantries with Maurizio Sarri and the Chelsea bench, but then walked onto the pitch to seek out Shaqiri. The Swiss star had a rather frustrating evening, wasting a number of chances on the break as Chelsea pushed for an equaliser, and Klopp seemed furious with his winger. He stormed past other Liverpool players and shouted at Shaqiri, appearing to admonishing him for some mistakes he made during the match. Klopp gesticulated and pointed wildly, though did shake hands with Shaqiri – who was listening to his manager intently – to
