In the course of the last season, due to the injury of the center forward Arkadius Milika, the Neapolitan coach decided to use the services of the nominal winger Dris Mertens.

According to Sarri, he is surprised at how brightly the Belgian has shown himself in this role.

"Mertens continues to become better and becomes a player in the truth of the world class," said Maurizio.

"I want, that Дрис was the beast, hungry up to the heads.

Honestly, I was lucky to have discovered him as the central striker, because the decision to transfer Driss there was forced due to Milik's injury last year. Nevertheless, I did not expect that he would make such an excellent front-line ".

"It's a pity that we uncovered Mertens as a striker as much as 28 years. He could have played for many years at the top level, "- summed up Sarri.

In the current season, Dries scored 6 goals in 5 Serie A games.
