Napoli coach Walter Mazzarri was pleased with their 2-0 Champions League win against SC Braga.
Victor Osimhen and an own goal saw Napoli triumph on the night.
Mazzarri said: Aside from qualification, I was focused on not conceding goals, as this team had been stretched out and lacking solidity for a while. We wanted to find more balance, some things worked better than others, and we allowed some guys to rest too. It was a positive day.
What little we could do on marking in the penalty area, as you remember we tended to lose men on throw-ins and pull-backs from the by-line. We saw the team winning back the ball quickly too, all things that this side did really well last season and had rather lost."
On Natan's performance, he said: The lad has real quality, he was a little demoralised and needed support. I know what it's like, as I had Bremer at Torino who felt the same way, it's not easy coming from Brazil to Italy and a very different league. He looks a different player now, has immense potential, needs support and I am sure he will only get better."
