Napoli, Buongiorno’s regret: “We gave everything in recent games” | OneFootball

Alessandro Buongiorno analyzes Napoli’s defeat in the Champions League at Benfica’s stadium without mincing words. The 2-0 loss in Lisbon weighs heavily, but the Azzurri defender, interviewed by Prime Video after the match, immediately pinpoints the key to the evening: “We knew it was going to be a tough match, and we probably lacked a bit of energy. They played with great intensity and are definitely a good team.” When asked how to bounce back after such a clear defeat, Buongiorno remains pragmatic: review, correct, restart. “We’ll try to review the mistakes we made with the coach to try to improve. At the start, we tried to hold on by inertia, continuing to attack after going behind, but it’s normal that when you have to attack, you leave yourself exposed and can concede goals.” The central issue, however, remains the physical condition of a team that arrived drained at the decisive moment. “This is definitely a heated stadium, and we’re a bit depleted due to injuries and coming off matches where we spent a lot of energy: against Juve but also with Roma. That’s what we were missing, but it’s important to look ahead on our path of growth.” A clear-headed analysis that accurately captures Napoli’s current moment: tested, short-handed, but aware of their limits and determined to turn defeat into a necessary step in the growth process.
