SERIE A - Dries Mertens paws, Spalletti has his extra man

Dries Mertens, after returning to the field against Fiorentina, took advantage of the national team break to further improve his condition. The Belgian elf is now ready.

And Spalletti can't wait to see him at work in his Naples. He will be the extra man on the blue chessboard. In the 4-2-3-1 of the coach from Certaldo, Dries could return to his origins, that is, going to occupy one of the two external attack lanes, or be deployed in the role in which he consecrated himself in the Neapolitan square, that of center forward . It will be difficult even to undermine the ownership of Victor Osimhen. But, you know, 135 goals are not scored by chance. And Mertens will do everything to put the Tuscan coach in difficulty.
