From the retirement of his national team, the Napoli striker, the Belgian Dries Mertens, gave an interview to HLN in which he talked about between present and future: “Being a coach once I quit is too stressful. The coaches are always tired. For now I want to continue playing, sometimes I think I can do it up to 40 years, other times I think ‘I don’t have children yet, if I stop I can travel to the world. ”It would be nice to discover new things even if we are now in a bubble.
After the retreat I will live in Belgium, I see too little of my grandchildren. I talked to Kat about our beautiful apartment in Naples, I would like to keep it but I think it will be difficult. In Naples, however, I am a king, it is true, but it takes very little to take the throne. For now I’m living a fairytale.
I am not afraid that my popularity will end after football. I’m not afraid that people will forget about me. “
