Benitez denies talking title for Napoli this season

Napoli coach Rafa Benitez refused to discuss the Scudetto after their poor defeat to Chievo Verona.

Maxi Lopez struck the winner for Chievo, with Napoli also missing a penalty.

Benitez insisted: "I never talked about the Scudetto. This is only Week 2.

"I want to teach patience, including during a game when with 40 minutes to go you have time and shouldn't rush things. React by continuing to do the good work from the first half."
