Criticism of Natan during ‘Il Napoli su Telecapri’. A viewer calls Paolo Del Genio and speaks of a “very poor Nathan”. The journalist disagrees and responds in this way: “Why do you say that? He played in a great team and only he did badly? Did he make mistakes in every match in a team that worked well? Last year between Natan and Juan Jesus, Rrahmani, Di Lorenzo who made the most mistakes? Did Natan make all the defensive mistakes? So are Rrahmani, Di Lorenzo and Juan Jesus very poor too?
When Natan was injured, as well as when he wasn’t, Napoli conceded two goals per game. Why do you define it as ‘very poor’? For me it can improve a lot. He has decent speed, good physical size, a not bad left foot and therefore there is room for improvement. I didn’t say that he will become a phenomenon, but from your description Natan is a Serie C player. I never share these harsh judgments, because football is full of surprises. Napoli was working like crap, so the coverages, the advances and not only that, even his teammates were wrong. If I have to criticize Napoli’s defenders for last year, the last one I criticize is Natan.”
