The Little Donkeys are also unbeaten in their last 12 matches at home in Serie A having recorded two draws and 10 wins at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
“You need both the mental and technical aspects of the game. Matches like this can be affected by various psychological aspects, but above all you need to play good football," Napoli manager Luciano Spalletti said after their clash with Salernitana.
“Tempo, it's all about the tempo. In the first half we tended to get crowded in the middle of the park and ran the risk of being caught on the counter, but we happened to score those two goals and turned the game in our direction.
“We controlled the tempo in the second half and kept our balance, but we need to push harder and speed things up in future."
