More than Diego Maradona there is Dries Mertens in the flood in which Sarri’s Lazio sinks, on the night dedicated to the Pibe. The performance of the Belgian striker is celebrated on today’s edition of Corriere della Sera: “In front of his statue: spectacle and sentiment are the prelude to Napoli’s leadership in the standings. He is back to play the football he knows, under the eyes of his former captain. He puts Inter at a safe distance and stretches over Milan.
When the Belgian, author of a double, celebrates under the curve with his hand on his heart, it is clear that perhaps the Pibe has designated his Neapolitan heir. The ovation he receives when he gives way to Petagna in the middle of the second half, certifies it. From Maradona to Mertens, Spalletti applauds him for two minutes in a row “ underlines the newspaper.
