Scott Mctominay and Giacomo raspadori urge Napoli to settle Napoli after the lead is cut from Inter at the top of the Serie A table. “This is not a time to panic.”
It was a strange night at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Because Partenopei led twice, simply by returning Romelu Lukaku and Raspadori to a 2-2 draw.
Genoa returned with two headers. Honest Ahanor’s efforts rose upright and bouncing off Alex Meretto, Johan Vasquez rose to meet Aaron Martin Cross in the 84th minute.
Strangely enough, both Napoli targets came from McTominay Assists, so he already has four in Serie A for the season.
McTominay continues to inspire Naples
“We have to settle down. This is not a time to panic,” McTominay told Dazn after winning his man’s match award from the Lega Serie A.
“Genova is a strong team and they have to score two good goals and see what’s wrong there.”
“It’s important to stay calm and continue doing what we’re doing and then see where the end of the season wins us.”
This is his debut Serie A campaign. Did Scotland International expect to be in this position in the Battle of Scudetto?
“It’s tough, tight, because we have two or three top teams and everyone wins. We need to focus and calm. This isn’t a time of panic, so we’ll continue training and attack the next game.”
Naples still have advantages over Inter
This result, and tonight’s Inter’s 2-0 victory over Turin, means that Napoli saw a three-point lead hacked to one point at the top of the table.
“The fans were amazing tonight, they gave us a big hand,” Raspadri told Dazen.
“That’s what makes this outcome even more disappointing. We were well prepared, so we played well. That’s the point. It’s still important because we were in front, but we wanted to win. We gave it everything.”
It’s still being played in two rounds. Partenopei visits Parma to host Cagliari, and Inter takes on Lazio and Como.
“We have to take the same attitude as before. This has led us here, so continue to do the same intensity and effort that we have done every day,” Italian said.
