Gonzalo Higuain enjoying rapport with Rafael Benitez

Napoli striker Gonzalo Higuain credits Rafael Benitez with a quick transition to life in Serie A after his second goal in three leagues games.

Napoli striker Gonzalo Higuain has given credit to new coach Rafael Benitez with helping him settle quickly in Italy after scoring his second goal in three Serie A matches.

Benitez maintained a 100% start to life at the San Paolo last night as Napoli earned a 2-0 victory at Atalanta to keep the Azzurri top of the table.

Higuain, who broke the deadlock against Atalanta, insists that Napoli will stay grounded despite a superb opening to the campaign, while declaring that Benitez has made a strong early impression.

He told Sport Mediaset: "I am very happy for the goal and satisfied to have given my fans a moment of joy.

"The rapport with Rafa Benitez is ideal, as we work well together and hope this is on the beginning, because we want to aim high.

"We have to stay calm and enjoy the victory over Atalanta. We'll talk about Dortmund the day before the game."

Napoli's attention now turns to the Champions League in midweek and an intriguing clash against last season's beaten finalists Borussia Dortmund.
