Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis took to social media after their 1-1 draw at Champions League opponents Real Madrid.
Despite the tension between De Laurentiis and the players, the president was happy to praise the performance.
He said, With Ancelotti and this team, we earned two wins and a draw against the champions Liverpool.
So much for those who try to do us down and say players don't perform because of contracts that haven't been renewed, let this game be the definitive response.
Well done to the coach and to our players. Now everyone get their heads down and work hard, try to consider every game coming up as if it was against Liverpool.
We mustn't talk today about the disciplinary action the club is taking with the players. We'll resolve these matters ourselves without external pressure or influence."
