Napoli president De Laurentiis tells fans to stop panicking

Napoli president Aurelio del Laurentiis has hit out at complaining fans after a tough week.

De Laurentiis complained at the criticism of his transfer campaign and plummeting season ticket sales.

"Now I will try to make the fans happy, as they want an even stronger side that can challenge for the Scudetto," ADL was quoted as saying in the Corriere dello Sport.

"However, when everyone else gets caught up in a panic, I stay calm. I know what my players can do and that we'd get right back on our feet after losing to Chievo.

"Do you know the problem? At Napoli people always look at the negative side and nothing is ever considered perfect. People want everything and they want it right away.

"I was meant to fly to Los Angeles this week, but I preferred to stay because I saw too much negativity. That negativity is outside the locker room, I might add, as the team is very united and the Coach confident of what he's doing."
