NAPLES – Matteo Politano isn't shying away and is calling for a reaction. On the eve of the Champions League match against Eintracht Frankfurt, the Italian winger spoke with the understanding that Napoli has a crucial opportunity to bounce back after their defeat to PSV.

“Tomorrow we have an excellent opportunity to make up for our last negative outing.

We're facing a very physical team and we need to be good at regaining our energy right away, taking to the field at our best right from the start.", he told Sky Sport. Politano doesn't hide the fatigue of an intense period but isn't looking for excuses: "These have been challenging months. Playing every three days means a lot of effort, both physically and mentally. But it's precisely in moments like these that we need to react as a true team."

According to number 21, the European slap in the face in Eindhoven must become fuel for a new start: "We have to turn the shock against PSV into positive anger. We want to win in front of our fans, for their sake too. I don't score often? It bothers me, and I want to make up for it. Eintracht play with an open face, so we have to take advantage of every opportunity and try to score as many goals as possible."

A statement that sends a clear message to everyone: Napoli doesn't want to simply react, but immediately regain control of the game. In a Champions League that doesn't allow for slip-ups, they'll need pace, clarity, and that hunger that, according to Politano,politan, “can make a difference.”

What Politano says is interesting, but I also think we need greater concentration on the pitch. The team needs to manage their energy better to avoid repeating the mistakes made in the past during tough matches.
