Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was unimpressed at being asked if Naples was "a dangerous city" in a pre-match press conference.
The Reds take on Napoli in the Champions League group stages on Wednesday.
Liverpool fans had been warned by the club to avoid congregating in the City, especially in club gear, as it may provoke an angry reaction from locals.
Asked if Naples was dangerous, Klopp replied: "That's an embarrassing question from you. You want to create headlines. I really don't understand. Are you from Napoli? Do you think it's a dangerous city? I don't live a normal life in Napoli. I am protected, I go to the hotel and now you ask me what I think about Napoli.
"You know exactly what people are talking about. If 'some' supporters meet 'some' supporters then 'something' can happen. Nothing to do with the city.
"But I'm not here to create headlines for you, and if you don't know what to ask anymore then that's no problem. I would love to go to the hotel to be honest and concentrate on the game tomorrow. It looks like you don't know what to ask anymore because of the question."
