Di Lorenzo: We need to get back to the spirit of last season and lack a real threat in attack

November 10th: In the 11th round of Serie A last night, Naples lost 0-2 away to Bologna. Napoli captain Di Lorenzo attended the post-match press conference.

What is your evaluation of this defeat?

We encountered some difficulties. Today we seemed a little lack of energy in the midfield. The international break comes at the perfect time and it's a good opportunity for us to recharge and get back into shape.

What is the most important thing to get back after the league break?

It was definitely that spirit that set us apart last season. We have been lacking in this area recently and we need to work harder and fight as a unit in the game.

Are you lacking something psychologically?

We will analyze the game with the coach. We easily entered the opponent's last 16 meters of defensive area, but were unable to generate a real threat and were not enough to maintain the lethality of the offense. But I don’t think it’s a psychological problem, it’s not something that can be changed in a day or two, but we will work hard to improve. We broke into the opponent's penalty area many times, but did not create a real threat. We need to learn from games like this and keep improving.

What did you say in the locker room after the game?

We all need to do more because what we are currently doing is not enough. Everyone was in a bad mood because no one likes to lose. We lost to a team that was well organized and in great form but we definitely need to do more.
