Brazilian winger David Neres delivered a defiant message of unwavering self-belief following his decisive goal for Napoli, asserting he “never left” despite recent struggles to establish himself at the club.
Neres scored the winning goal in a 1-0 victory over AS Roma. This marked a significant moment in his recent turn of form.
The goal against Roma was his third in his last three matches. His performances during this period have also shown marked improvement.
When asked by journalists after the game if this run signaled his “return” to top form, Neres offered a characteristic reply.
“I never left. I was always here,” the former Benfica player stated, emphasizing his constant presence and self-assurance.
