Napoli affected by Benfica collapse

 Napoli affected by Benfica collapse - Sarri
Having been held at home, the Napoli coach blamed his side's disappointing performance on the earlier result in Group B.
Maurizio Sarri believes his Napoli side were "negatively affected" by Benfica's draw at Besiktas as they also slipped up and were held by Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League.

 The Serie A side would have progressed to the knockout stages had they and Group B rivals Benfica both won on Wednesday, but the Portuguese outfit blew a three-goal lead to draw 3-3 before the later game kicked off at San Paolo.
And after seeing his Napoli team booed by their supporters at the end of a goalless stalemate, Sarri admitted that the group's other result was to blame as no result could guarantee qualification.
"We went out for the warm-up with Benfica winning 3-1, and then the news came that it was 3-3," he told Mediaset Premium.

Jules Rimet handed it to Obdulio Varela – albeit in bizarre circumstances – at the Maracana in 1950, and though  La Celeste reached the semi-finals on three occasions thereafter, they have never gone further, losing to Hungary in 1954, Brazil in 1970, and the Netherlands in 2010. Eight teams have shorter odds of winning Russia 2018 than Uruguay, but that does not stop the Atletico Madrid centre-back from dreaming big. “There isn’t a day goes by that I stop thinking about the World Cup,” Godin told  Radio Rincón . “I dream of lifting the Trophy – of course, I do. “We qualified for the World Cup well. The important thing is that no-one gets injured, that everyone is right physically.”Godin believes the secret to Uruguay’s prosperity under Oscar Tabarez – t...
