"It was a performance born of a winning mentality," Luciano Spalletti, the Napoli manager, said when reflecting on their win over Venezia.
"I repeat that we do not lack anything to be competitive. The group knows what it wants and knows what it is worth. We must be aware of what we can achieve.
"Those who complain are destined to become a bag carrier. We, on the other hand, want to have our own precise identity and we are aware of what we can achieve "
The last meeting between Genoa and Napoli in a league game was on 2 June 2021.
Genoa secured a hard-fought 2-1 win over Napoli in a match that was played at the Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris.
