Spanish defender RafaMarin spoke to DAZN before the match between Napoli and Monza, scheduled for 8.45pm at Brianteo. The coach began by expressing his condolences for the train tragedy that occurred in Toledo, wishing strength to the families and loved ones of the victims and underlining that the club is entirely united in the matter.
Marin subsequently highlighted the club's main concern: managing the defense when the team finds itself relegated. “We are working on defense, especially when we are in low block,” he said. “We conceded a lot of goals and we need to continue to improve at this stage.” He recalled recent matches, citing the Champions League match and the clash against Roma, both against top-level teams, to illustrate the difficulties encountered.
Napoli, who have found themselves in defensive difficulties in recent weeks, have decided to focus on a more compact block and a more solid organization in the retreat phase. Marin stressed that the work is ongoing and that the team must maintain focus to avoid further failures.
As the match against Monza approaches, the club hopes to implement the defensive changes and reduce the goals conceded. The final result will depend on the team's ability to maintain structure and exploit counterattacking opportunities. Napoli is therefore preparing for a crucial match to consolidate their position in the standings and to demonstrate that defense can be a strong point when the team is under pressure.
