Napoli are "not worried" about their underwhelming start to the season and can only look forward, assistant coach Marco Landucci insisted after Sunday's 2-0 loss to Juventus.

Kerim Alajbegovic and Jeremie Boga were on target as the Bianconeri eased the pressure on their under-fire head coach Luciano Spalletti, pulling three points clear of the Partenopei.

Landucci was in the dugout for Napoli as boss Massimiliano Allegri served a touchline ban, and he oversaw a flat attacking display as the visitors only managed eight shots, one of which hit the target, with a total value of 0.52 expected goals (xG).

Napoli's 14 points from their opening 10 matches of this season is their worst return at this stage of a Serie A campaign since 2009-10, when they also had 14 points (W4 D2 L4) and finished sixth.

With Napoli now eighth in the table, already 14 points behind leaders Lazio and nine adrift of the top four, Landucci was asked if a sense of panic had set in.

He told DAZN: "We are not worried, but we are very disappointed, because we cared about this match. 

"The truth is that's how the game went. We need to shut up and prepare for Wednesday. 

"We have many injuries, as many teams do with this fixture list. It is somewhat inevitable and you have to keep going."

Asked if he had spoken to Allegri about the result, he said: "Yes, we spoke in the dressing room, but there's not a lot to say. Obviously, he wasn't happy. Would you have been happy? 

"He just said we should've done better in the second half, we paid a heavy price for errors, that's it."

Napoli's woes were compounded by Kevin De Bruyne and Giovanni Di Lorenzo both going off at half-time, with the Partenopei already suffering from a lengthy list of injuries, with Alessandro Buongiorno, Stanislav Lobotka, David Neres, Benoit Badiashile and Leonardo Spinazzola sidelined.

"Clearly, they could not continue," Landucci said of the duo. "De Bruyne had a problem with his ankle, with Giovanni Di Lorenzo, I'm not sure, but he could not continue either. 

"Even with that, we need to do better. It was a balanced encounter decided by these great goals, but we didn't help our own situation."

Napoli visit Porto in the Champions League on Wednesday, before taking on early Scudetto frontrunners Lazio in their next Serie A match.
