Napoli suffered a 2-0 defeat against Juventus, and goalkeeper Alex Meret expressed his disappointment to Rai's microphones. In the post-season, Meret underlined the coach's difficulty in finding continuity within the team, describing the match as a "tough tension" in which the details made the difference.
According to Meret, the match started in an even manner. “We had a good first half, with some chances on both sides,” said the defender. “But in the second half the details changed the course of the match.” The goalkeeper reported that Juventus found two decisive goals, "very big" for his team, and suggested that Napoli could have "been a little more aggressive" towards their opponents to prevent the attackers from having more space.
The goalkeeper also underlined the importance of this clash, highlighting that both teams had a strong desire to win. “It was a really important match for us and for them,” he added. “We felt under pressure and Juventus exploited the situation.” Meret concluded by acknowledging the need for immediate improvement, “We need to immediately think about the next game and do better.”
Napoli, who are currently in the top half of the table, will have to face their next challenge with a more coherent strategy. The coach, after the defeat, asked the group to review their preparation and focus on continuity, especially in the decisive moments of the match. With Serie A still underway, the Napoli team will have to make up for lost ground to remain competitive in the race for the Champions League places.
