NAPLES. "The positive thing is that we came back from two goals down, but we're not happy with the result. We wanted to win the match, and we're disappointed." Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Napoli captain, spoke to Dazn after the 2-2 draw against Verona at the Maradona stadium.
The Italian defender underlines his anger at the misstep: "We conceded a goal we should have avoided, but now we have to think about the next one. Mine was certainly a nice goal, but I'm disappointed with the result. We wanted to start with a win in our first home game of 2026."
Scott McTominay also highlights the team's commitment: “At halftime, the coach told us to be more aggressive. We even tried to win it, but we didn't succeed. It wasn't easy against a tough team.”The Italian midfielder confirms the opponent's difficulty but recognizes the effort of his teammates.
Di Lorenzo concludes by looking ahead: "We'll stay close; it'll be a hard-fought championship like last year. Every point matters. We'll play our game in Milan." Napoli thus prepares for the big match against Inter with the knowledge that they must confirm their lead in the Scudetto race.

Let's bet that this evening on the DS that idiot Bergonzi says that the penalty was valid and Hojlund's goal wasn't valid, it's all a conspiracy, Napoli is a nuisance, we need to eliminate them
You have time to make up for it
No, Inter won it like last year.
You have to make yourself heard by the referees, you are too much of a gentleman
Marcio Sport
And if it continues, it's your fault for paying and betting.
The rest is just bar talk.
If you want clean football, don't bet and don't give money to this sport.
It's true that we came back, but I'm not satisfied with the final result. We could have done better, especially at home. We hope to do better in the next match, even though Verona is always a tough team.
