Manuel Locatelli believes Juventus will feel ‘regret’ after their 1-1 draw with Napoli, but saw the right ‘intensity’ Max Allegri is asking for.
The Bianconeri were able to grab an equaliser through Federico Chiesa after the Dries Mertens strike had given Napoli the half-time lead.
“I think we have some regret, because we wanted to win. It’s a pity we went behind and we wanted to win, especially at home,” Locatelli told DAZN.
Serie A | Juventus 1-1 Napoli: Chiesa cancels out Mertens strike
“We played with intensity, which is what the coach asked for, and are trying to achieve that for 90 minutes to bring home important points.
“It’s an important month and could be decisive, because there are some head-to-head clashes and we need to pick up as many points as possible.”
Napoli made the trip without nine players, and another three were almost ruled out by confusion over quarantine rules and their vaccination status.
There were four games called off today due to COVID quarantine orders from the local health authorities, so the Lega Serie A is trying to clamp down with a new protocol.
“It’s a difficult situation for everyone, we must all follow the rules, get our vaccines and keep going.”

Wow Samy Ibrahim, how insigtful are your comments. You missed Deligt’s foul which was as much a penalty as the Mertens handball?
@Samy Ibrahim,there’s nothging to discuss with dim witted people with neither manners, nor the most basic of of comnication skills, otherwise known as respect, so get lost.
