Mertens: 'I wanted to start against Roma'

29 ott 2018

Napoli star Dries Mertens complained for not starting against Roma yesterday night. The Belgian came off the bench and scored the leveller in the final minutes. "It's a pity because we could win today", Mertens said. "We had our chances, Roma played well, but we had many shots on target and we could win. I wanted to start such an important game, everybody knows what this game means for us. I wanted to play."

Right after the game, Ancelotti explained why Mertens didn't start against Roma.
