Napoli, Mertens: "We were normal players, Sarri transformed us. Scudetto? We believe"

Napoli got off to a great start to their seasons, but a loss to Juventus, followed by Champions League elimination and a draw with Fiorentina have stalled their campaign a bit. Dries Mertens spoke to Canale 21 about the season, "A difficult moment? Yes, but in these moments we see how strong we are. Champions league exit? It is ugly, it happened last season also against Real Madrid. Even in the Europa League we want to go forward, it is a beautiful competition. There are many games and we can't win them all. It is normal during the season to have difficult moments, at the end we'll see where we end up. You can be in first place the whole season, but what is important is being in first place at the end. We believe in the scudetto, but to win it we have to give everything on the pitch. To the fans we promise this, that when we play we will give everything we have. My next goal? I hope it comes soon, maybe even Saturday. Sarri? Without him we wouldn't be who we are. From when he arrived at Napoli he created a strong squad from normal players. I don't know how Insigne is, you would have to ask him, but for him to rush back would be a mistake."
