Pepe Reina felt Napoli “could’ve won by three clear goals” after their 1-0 victory over Palermo.

A Gonzalo Higuain penalty proved the only difference between the sides in Sicily this evening.

“We barely ran any risks tonight and a 1-0 win is fine, even if it doesn’t fit with our usual philosophy of football,” the goalkeeper told Mediaset Premium.

Pepe Reina felt Napoli “could’ve won by three clear goals” after their 1-0 victory over Palermo.

A Gonzalo Higuain penalty proved the only difference between the sides in Sicily this evening.

“We barely ran any risks tonight and a 1-0 win is fine, even if it doesn’t fit with our usual philosophy of football,” the goalkeeper told Mediaset Premium.

“We could easily have won by three clear goals. We must always target the victory, taking it one game at a time.

“There’s no point looking at what the other teams are doing, because we can’t do anything about that. This group has to believe in itself.”

The result keeps Napoli within three points of leaders Juventus and five clear of third-placed Roma.

“Was this a message to Juve? No, it’s a message for ourselves. The fans must be proud of us because we’ll fight to the end.”
