Coach Maurizio Sarri said
Napoli have been brought "back down to earth" after losing their
opening Champions League Group F match 2-1 at Shakhtar Donetsk
on Wednesday.
Napoli have won their first three Serie A games and knocked
Nice out in the Champions League playoffs, setting expectations
high among fans about the season.
But they went down on Wednesday to goals by Shakhtar's Taison
and Facundo Ferreyra, with Arkadiusz Milik pulling one back for
the visitors with a penalty.
"We didn't play well tonight because we had the wrong
approach," said Sarri.
"It happened in the league too but in the Champions League
it's more difficult to come back if you give one half to your
opponents.
"We could have earned a draw anyway but it's obvious that we
did not play as we wanted tonight".
