Napoli boss Carlo Ancelotti admits he was unimpressed with his players after defeat to Bologna.

Bologna shocked the Azzurri 2-1 on Sunday.

The team is against the coach, they say. But it isn't so. I have an excellent relationship with the squad. No one has ever failed to respect me. I don't see any friction between the players and us," said Ancelotti afterwards.

We exchange ideas every day, the situation must be resolved quickly, because we are failing badly."

He also insisted: "It's not a problem of tactics, more of an attitude problem. Three days ago we showed great solidity against Liverpool, and we played with three midfielders.

We have conceded many goals, it's true, we need solidity, but it is the mental aspect that must be improved by taking even a smidgen of responsibility.

"The fans are disappointed and I can only agree with them. I must be more lucid in order to resolve this situation."
