Napoli winger Dries Mertens warns he finds it “irritating” that he doesn’t always play regularly.
The Belgian international has scored four goals so far this season, but has only made four starts across Serie A and the Champions League.
“When I played as a starter in both Champions League games I was very happy,” Mertens told Nieuwsblad.
Napoli winger Dries Mertens warns he finds it “irritating” that he doesn’t always play regularly.
The Belgian international has scored four goals so far this season, but has only made four starts across Serie A and the Champions League.
“When I played as a starter in both Champions League games I was very happy,” Mertens told Nieuwsblad.
“But I’m basically only playing one of every two games. That’s sometimes irritating. I like it when you’re in good form, you keep going and everything works out well.
“Look at [Leicester City’s Jamie] Vardy who scored in every match last season and set a record [scoring in 11 consecutive Premier League games].
“With our busy schedule I understand you can’t play every game, but one match in two is, I think, too little even if I have to accept that too.”
