Goalkeeper Alex Meret expressed his disappointment after the 2-0 defeat against Juventus, with which Napoli lost a precious point in the race for the Serie A standings. In an interview with Sky Sport, Meret underlined the difficulty of finding continuity on the pitch, citing the presence of injuries and unavailability which have weighed on the group as a whole.
Meret specified that, despite the lack of players, those present have the qualities necessary to compete at their best. “Whoever is must do well, must fight, must sacrifice for Napoli,” he declared, highlighting the need for constant commitment from all members of the team. He also acknowledged that the match was balanced, but that the details – in particular Juventus' two decisive shots – made the difference. “We have to do better in all aspects,” he added, reiterating the importance of recovering lost points.
The goalkeeper also commented on the logistical situation that led Napoli to move to Turin for training, before leaving for Portugal. “Maybe it's time to stay closer, but we have the caliber and experience to overcome this moment,” he said, showing confidence in the group's ability to face difficulties.
Meret then discussed the perception of a lack of "spark" within the team, especially after the match against Villarreal. “I don't think it's a question of motivation,” he explained, stating that he doesn't yet know the precise cause of this feeling. He stressed that it is a combination of factors that the club is trying to understand and resolve. “We are sorry for the moment we are going through, but we must all work together starting tomorrow to start again,” he concluded.
With the season still underway, Napoli must now focus on the next match, trying to raise the table and re-establish the continuity that Meret spoke of. The club remains determined to overcome the current difficulties and return to competing with the same intensity and motivation as before.
