Draw for Napoli against Roma at the Maradona despite the excellent performance: Meret’s comment after the match.
The best performance of the last few months is not enough Naples to achieve the victory against the Rome. The Azzurri had the reaction that the public expected after the Empoli debacle. In fact, compliments from president Aurelio De Laurentiis also arrived in the locker rooms.
The Azzurri paid for their defensive inattention and their lack of concreteness in front of goal. Di Lorenzo and his teammates, in fact, were able to overcome the deficit, but in the end Abraham punished the now former Italian Champions with a narrow header that Meret could do nothing about.
Napoli-Roma, Meret’s comment after the draw
Alex Meret himself made some statements after the match. The Friulian goalkeeper praised the team’s performance, but also explained how the Azzurri should have always played like this.
The goalkeeper then also spoke about retiring before the match against Roma and commented on Napoli’s terrible ranking.
Below are his words:
What was missing to win?
“We weren’t careful on the corner kick. We were good at overturning it. We have created a lot and realized little. Unfortunately this year even when we play well we don’t win and this is the difference from last year. We must finish the championship with more performances like this.”
Classification?
“It’s a mix of emotions. The season is not positive. From my point of view there are few regrets, because the team worked hard. We must acknowledge the difficulties. This team can fight for something more, but we can’t go back.”
We’re going home after the retreat, is that nice?
“The locker room is happy to be back with the families. It allows us to detach from this negative season. Likewise, we are pleased with the compliments from the president who understood our reaction. We have to do it in every match.”
In a disastrous season, we saw that Napoli have a strong goalkeeper.
“It’s definitely a different season. Last year we suffered much less. What I can do is give my best, training at 200%.”
