NAPLES – “The game seemed to be ours, it was in our hands”. At the end of the match, Giovanni Di Lorenzo’s voice is full of regret, but not resignation.
The captain of the Napoli tries to shake things up after the home draw against Genoa, which complicated the title chase: "Losing points like this hurts, especially with two games to go. But we can't afford to get down. We had a wild card, we played it tonight: now we just have to win the two remaining ones".
Di Lorenzo does not hide his disappointment at the way the rossoblù goals came, both from high ball situations, rare concessions for a team like Conte's. But he asks for clarity, because the fight is far from over: "We have conceded two goals like that very few times this year, but football is also this. Now we need to react, turn the page immediately".
The pressure, inevitable, is felt. But for number 22 it is also the beauty of a race that has all of Italy on tenterhooks: "Playing it point by point is tiring, but fascinating. We know that every detail counts, that we can't make any more mistakes, but that's also why we're fighting. We've been in the lead for a long time and we want to stay there."
On the day Inter closed the gap to just one point, the captain's voice was a call for unity and work. Because, despite the bad evening, nothing is lost yet.

The match was a must-win, but it was a draw that left a bitter taste in the mouth. I don't understand how we conceded those goals, it seemed impossible. I hope the team recovers and wins the next two.
