Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri was delighted with their 5-1 win over Empoli.
Jose Callejon struck twice, with Gonzalo Higuain also getting on the scoresheet.
Napoli are top of the table, two points clear of a Juventus side that has notched up 12 consecutive Serie A victories.
“It's right that the San Paolo expects a victory, as they help us to get over difficult situations, but the problem was trying to overcome an excellent Empoli side," Sarri told Sky Sport Italia.
“We are happy with the performance, with how the team emerged from the situation and we didn't feel any pressure from the Juventus result. Juve are having their own campaign, we just happen to be nearby.
“Dreams are wonderful, then there is reality. We've had a great campaign so far and we feel real hunger and desire, but not a duty. Not that.
“We are aiming to go forward and if we look too far towards the horizon then our chances of doing well diminish."
