Napoli’s Meret: Strong start, raising the bar, competition with Savic | OneFootball

Alex Meret spoke to the microphones of Radio CRC, the official partner broadcaster of SSC Napoli, commenting on the team's good start to the season and focusing on various topics related to his journey in blue.

Napoli, Meret: “Good start to the season, healthy competition between goalkeepers with Savic”

The Friulian goalkeeper expressed satisfaction for the victory obtained away against Sassuolo: “We started well, with a game of attention and sacrifice. We picked up where we left off, immediately achieving an important success. The team's attitude was excellent and this made the difference”.

On the formation chosen by Antonio Conte, Meret highlighted that it is a solution already tested: “We finished last season with this system, when Jack played closer to Lukaku. I don't have to change much, it's mainly the players in front who have to adapt, but everyone knows what to do because we prepare during the week”.

The blue goalkeeper then raised the bar on the seasonal objectives: “We must aim higher and higher, with humility and self-denial. We want to win all the games and go as far as possible in every competition”. On his role in the locker room, Meret feels today a point of reference: “I am among the most experienced, I know the square and the fans well. I try to help the young people and set an example”.

There was also a mention of the new teammate Vanja Milinković-Savić: “There is a great relationship, of healthy competition. The important thing is to be ready, whoever goes on the field”. Finally a thought to the fans: “They gave us great support in the summer retreats. It was beautiful to feel their closeness, we will do everything to give other satisfactions”.
