Dries Mertens praised Napoli Coach Maurizio Sarri after a 4-2 win over Benfica. “He should’ve been in the Champions League sooner.”
The Partenopei have a 100 per cent record in the tournament so far, beating Dynamo Kiev 2-1 as well.
“We are playing well and the performance was perfect apart from the two goals we conceded at the end,” Mertens told Mediaset Premium.

“We are playing well and the performance was perfect apart from the two goals we conceded at the end,” Mertens told Mediaset Premium.
The Belgian bagged a brace, while Arek Milik and Marek Hamsik were also on target.
“Without Gonzalo Higuain, we play more as a team unit. We all want to give more compared to last season and so far we’re doing that.
“My celebration was the one our kit-man Tommaso does. He and the others who work behind the scenes here are extraordinary people.”
It’s surprising to think Sarri only made his Serie A debut with Empoli in 2014.
“Sarri is very important for us and truly a Coach who should’ve been in the Champions League sooner. He is an excellent tactician.”
