Rafael Benitez plays down Antonio Conte comments

Napoli coach Rafael Benitez has responded to comments made by Juventus boss Antonio Conte prior to last night's Serie A encounter in Turin.

The Bianconeri manager stoked the flames by suggesting that his Spanish counterpart will have "achieved nothing" if he does not guide the Partenopei to the title this season.

Goals from Fernando Llorente, Andrea Pirlo and Paul Pogba saw the Old Lady come out on top at the Juventus Stadium, as they drew to within one point of leaders Roma.

"We each have our own way of doing things," Benitez told Sky Sport Italia.

"I worked in three different countries with different mentalities and believe this is the way to win, whereas he has his view of winning. It's fine.

"Napoli are growing, as a team and a club, whereas Juventus have been winning for years, so it's only natural they are considered favourites."
