AC Milan boss Allegri insists no reason for panic after Napoli setback

AC Milan boss Max Allegri insists there's no reason to panic after their 3-1 defeat to Napoli.

Milan have only one point from their opening two games against Lazio and Napoli, while the 2-2 draw at Barcelona midweek also prompted criticism.

"We're not worried. We all have to relax, know we are a big club who can have a couple of setbacks in terms of result, but the performances were decent. The only concern is that we conceded five goals in the first two Serie A rounds," continued the Coach.

"The full-backs have to be faster at getting back to help the defence. We certainly made mistakes on the counter-attack.

"Napoli tended to play on the break, which was unusual considering they were the home team. They are very fast and we should've done better in stopping that weapon.

"The team took the right approach and deservedly took the lead. Unfortunately, we allowed Napoli the opportunities that we knew full well we should not have given them."
