Napoli, Mertens: "We enjoy playing football, for me Ghoulam is the best fullback in the world"

Dries Mertens has helped Napoli stay in front in Serie A, leading the way in the striker role for the partenopei. In an interview with Le Buteur, the Belgian commented on the team this season: "It's going very well, we have a great team with star players and the results are a direct consequence of that. We are first in the league and we have been successful keeping a consistent rhythm. We have a team who loves to play football and who help me score as many goals as possible. This season I am working a lot, I can and I have to score in the league to keep our place in the table. Ghoulam? He modeled his game after Marcello. but I think that Faouzi might be at the moment the best in the world in his position. He is an offense player and it truly is always a joy to play with him out wide. When Insigne isn't there, I play the left flank and I enjoy playing with him. He's someone with the ability to run 18km in a match, which is truly exceptional for a left back. I don't know how many assists he has set up, but I am sure that for me he's created several goals for me in this season and the last one."
