Napoli atoned for their sins in last weekend’s defeat against AC Milan to hit four past Paulo Fonseca’ s men at home.
Lorenzo Insigne drew first blood for the hosts 31 minutes into the game before Fabian doubled Gattuso’s men’s advantage midway through the game.
Dries Mertens and Matteo Politano were both on target during the dying embers of the game to settle the Rome-based team’s defeat.
In an interview with the media after the game, Gattuso was left impressed with is side’s blistering display and insists he wants them to continue with such mentality.
“We have to play with this intensity in every single game, with this atmosphere on the team bus, in the dressing room, throughout the match. Take nothing for granted,” the Italian told Sky Sport Italia.
“What I liked was the attitude. When there was an error from a teammate, they helped each other out, applauded rather than telling them to go **** themselves, that’s what I like to see.
“Perhaps it’s my fault, because in order to not stress the players out, I let things go, I go easy. Now I realise I can never let anything go and I can’t afford to go easy on them. Times have changed.
“We know that with the fixture list as packed as it is, we can’t always be at 100 per cent in every single game. But that’s why mentality is so important, because it can allow you to push through difficulties, to keep going and raise the bar. I see the mentality as the issue here, we need to find the balance of playing good football, but as a team.”
