Napoli goalkeeper Alex Meret commented in the press conference on the defeat against Lazio: “We played a good match, we kept the ball for most of the game but perhaps we weren’t too precise and cynical up front. I think the attitude was the right one. We did well, perhaps we need to be more evil. Then that restart he punished us, we have to think about the next one.”
The defense held up despite the goal, is the problem the attack?
“We are not scoring as much as the other teams at the top, perhaps when we took the lead we thought more about bringing home the result. We need to improve in the attacking phase.”
Second defeat against a big team in Maradona…
“We faced a good team that is having a good championship. It’s sad to have lost, we have to continue on this path. Everyone has the desire to do well and win the next one.”
Then in the mixed zone Meret added: “The coach told us that we are on the right path, it was a good match on our part. We created danger for Lazio, but we weren’t able to get there up front and unfortunately we conceded a goal on one of the few occasions they created. We’re sorry a lot and we must already think about returning to victory next time.”
