Maurizio Sarri plays down title chances

Maurizio Sarri says that he is refusing to look beyond Napoli's upcoming fixtures, after helping the club to the top of the Serie A table.

Napoli manager Maurizio Sarri has talked down his side's chances of winning the Serie A title this season, despite guiding the club to the top of the table.

The Partenopei continued their good form by claiming a 2-0 victory over Hellas Verona this afternoon, but Sarri has admitted that he is not looking too far ahead with many tipping them as potential Scudetto winners.

"Sensations do not bring points. We've been unbeaten for 16 competitive games now, but there are still teams moving faster than us," he told reporters.

"It is impossible to look further ahead than next week. Not even we know what we are capable of, but among the sides we've faced so far I think Fiorentina impressed me the most.

"We have players of enormous quality and it's much easier to play good football with them. Over the last two or three years my Empoli did not have as much individual quality, but more or less the same characteristics."

Napoli are next in action with a Europa League clash away to Club Brugge, before taking on Serie A rivals Inter Milan on November 30.
