The Rome – Hamsik has already tired of China: it would like to return to Europe

NAPLES. The moment of engagement with the god of football may have arrived. A goal, just one, is enough for Dries Mertens to hook the great Diego Armando Maradona at the top of the Naples top scorer. The Flemish ferret has been looking for him for some games. Saturday with Verona, who entered the current game, he hit the post with a powerful right-footed player who almost threw him to the ground. But the Pibe de oro record is there. Then immediately afterwards he will take the throne of Marek Hamsik at 121 goals. It is the hour of the "Cyrus", our home tomorrow in Salzburg. The Champions awaits him. The European showcase has already seen him protagonist at the first match against Liverpool at San Paolo where he made the penalty kick of 1-0. He would have liked to repeat himself well in Genk but Ancelotti left him out initially to throw him into the fray in the second half. But there were no actions in the second half to break the deadlock. This time he is among the eleven, Carletto made him rest to have him look cool against the Austrians. It is not a decisive game but the result will orient the qualification. Absolutely not to be lost, otherwise there is the risk of being left out with the Salzburg which would go to six points. Most likely together with Liverpool facing the Genk. But Ancelotti kept his bomber in the mail. Surely the stimulus is greater on the part of Mertens since he must point straight to Maradona. There are no comparisons that the person directly concerned holds and knows, but one remains in the history of Naples.

And for someone who arrived seven years ago on tip-toe as a right-wing player to become the bomber par excellence of the Italian club is not a trivial matter.
renewal. Mertens must hurry to reach Hamsik because he does not know if he will still remain on the shores of the Gulf. In June of next year the contract will expire and to date there are no premises for renewal. De Laurentiis was clear and does not move from the proposal of the beginning of the season. Maybe a meeting point will be there. But at the moment China seems the most likely destination. That's where Hamsik is, too, but apparently he's already tired and would like to return to Europe. The rain of millions of euros is not enough to live in a country where we suffer beyond football. Mertens, however, wants to honor his contract to the end. There could be an opening a little later. Otherwise, at the end of the season, everyone will say goodbye. Perhaps as a top scorer in the history of Naples and who knows maybe raising a trophy. At the moment Dries is focused on tomorrow's Champions League match. Where he wants to rejoice again. The goal has become his life and since he can reach a historical record it is better to hurry and not wait too long. The Salzburg is advised.
