“I already knew we would struggle,” the former Napoli boss noted. “You can tell when the muscles haven't loosened up properly yet…
“In the first half their legs weren't really firing, then it got better. I'm pleased with how things are coming along though.
“Considering the workload we've put them through they're doing great. You can see that they're still a bit leggy but we're working on it.
“The friendly performance has to be put into perspective. However, we'll look to learn from everything.”
