2024-12-05
Live on December 6 news In the Italian Cup this morning, Naples lost 1-3 away to Lazio, missed the last eight. Napoli striker Simeone was interviewed after the match.
You scored a goal in the match, are you satisfied with your performance?
I'm not satisfied. I'm disappointed. To win, we have to score more than one goal, we have to do more. I'm disappointed with the result, that's how I feel at the moment.
What was the reaction in the dressing room after the loss?
When you lose, you get angry, and we have to channel that anger into an immediate renewed willingness to start over. I'm hungry to play again, I'm full of fire and I want to show it on the pitch this Sunday because I want to win. (Napoli will play Lazio at home again this Sunday in the 15th round of Serie A.)
This game Napoli made a big rotation, sending out players who rarely start
Of course, after a negative result, the first thing that comes to mind is the players who have played very little. But there are no excuses, all of our players have to be ready at all times and we have done a good job in training, both those who have played and those who have not played, to prepare well. But on the pitch we need to do more and in my opinion that is no excuse.
What do you think the team is lacking?
We are careful and motivated. Tomorrow the coach will tell us what we did wrong in the video analysis of the game. In my opinion, we started too slowly and didn't press high. After that we improved but made mistakes because we had to be strong from the start of the game. The coach will give us more details about the team's mistakes.
Napoli are without a cup this season
I should point out that Lazio are more used to playing every three days this season and that was a big factor in today's game. As I said before, we have to turn this defeat into a positive and we have to show our anger in the league on Sunday.
