Alex MeretNapoli’s goalkeeper, spoke to DAZN after the match against Lecce.
How have you experienced today’s climate? It wasn’t easy to isolate yourself
“You’re right, even if let’s say that in the last period it was a bit like this due to the season which certainly wasn’t positive. We had to be good at isolating ourselves and playing our game. I think we did it today too, we created lots of chances, we risked less than usual, only a few counterattacks in the first half. I think we won the match. Unfortunately we missed a lot of goals today too, two woodblocks, and so this draw came which took us nowhere. We’re all sorry, disappointed. But we have to look forward now and get back up because next season awaits us in which we will certainly have to do much better.”
How do you accept boos at your captain Di Lorenzo?
“I didn’t like them. It was the whole context that led to these whistles. At least he doesn’t deserve them, we don’t all deserve them. We all had a season below expectations, it certainly wasn’t him who did worse than the others In fact we are a team, so I didn’t like the boos. Also because he was the captain of the championship, he played in all the matches, he always did his best like all of us. Unfortunately, when you give everything the results don’t always come, so I think I’m a bit sorry for him, but he’s a great man and a great footballer, so he’ll definitely come back in a great way.”
A tribute to Zielinski and other companions has taken a back seat, thus closing a cycle
“It’s sad to lose such an important player like Zielinski. I’ve known him for many years, he has incredible quality both in terms of football and as a person. He’s a very good boy, he’s always helped us. He deserved a different ending, but unfortunately we can’t do anything about it. I wish him well very good luck because he deserves it, he is truly a very strong footballer and a great person.”
Did Osimhen tell you something?
“No Victor didn’t tell us anything. Today he tried to help us, unfortunately we weren’t able to score. We’ll see what the future holds in the near future.”
Heading to the European Championship now?
“Yes, now yes. He’s taking a few days off just to regain his energy. This other great adventure awaits us and we hope to be able to make all the Italians happy.”
