Dries Mertens felt Napoli “dominated the game and must keep going like this, because one day” they’ll beat Juventus to the Scudetto.
Today’s 2-1 home defeat opened up a 16-point gap at the top of the Serie A table, but it was a hard-fought clash at the Stadio San Paolo with both sides down to 10 men.

Today’s 2-1 home defeat opened up a 16-point gap at the top of the Serie A table, but it was a hard-fought clash at the Stadio San Paolo with both sides down to 10 men.
“We are disappointed and I don’t think we’re lacking anything to compete with Juventus, because we dominated the game,” the Belgian told Sky Sport Italia.
“We continued playing even after going down to 10 men and were unlucky. We’ve got to keep going like this, because one day we’ll manage it.”
He was initially on the bench today in favour of Arkadiusz Milik, so was asked if the switch to 4-4-2 and focus more on crosses under Carlo Ancelotti was behind his lack of goals?
“It is a change, because I am not exactly Peter Crouch… I still want to give my all and make a difference for Napoli.”
