Napoli coach Carlo Ancelotti has warned fans they'll need time to grow and improve.

Napoli kicked off the season with victory at Lazio last week.

Ancelotti said, “Chasing utopias is risky, the dream comes from what was done last year, falling just a step short with a squad which hasn't changed.

“We're not lacking much, and that's what gives us hope.

“What was missing last year, three or four points? We need to look for those points match-by-match and week-by-week, with concentration, application and the group we have.

“We've changed a few things and we hope to reap the benefits very soon."
