Maxi Araújo pulls no punches after Napoli v Sporting: It’s f***ing tough | OneFootball

Maxi Araújo felt the loss of Sporting in Naples (2-1) quite deeply. At the end of the match, the 'jersey 20' admitted that losing is "always f***ing tough", having the impression that the green and whites could have achieved a much more positive result.

"We knew it was going to be very difficult as it is a great team with a lot of individual and collective quality, but we played a great match and created opportunities, but the second goal killed us a bit, as we were growing without being able to score. We fought until the end and we have to continue to score", he said.

Maxi highlighted the changes made by Rui Borges and the entry of Pedro Gonçalves: "We knew they were going to come on strong and in the first few minutes we had to be very focused and grow. Then in the second half we pressed a bit more, Pote started to give more passing ability and depth to the team as he knows how and we improved a lot".

"Losing is always f***ing tough, even more so with this jersey that always obliges us to win. We have to correct the mistakes, rest and think about the game with Braga which is going to be very difficult. We play at home in front of our public so we have to put on a great game", he concluded.
