Mertens has stressed that his side has recovered brilliantly since losing their first game of the 2012/13 campaign, while heaping praise on his side’s head coach, d**k Advocaat.
“We are now indeed on the right track. We started the season poorly. RKC performed fine, but we only lost due to our own poor performance. Nonetheless, the recovery has been brilliant. d**k Advocaat played an integral role in changing our mind set”, the
Belgian trainer was quoted as saying to the media.
The pint-sized winger went on to acknowledge that all the players also performed impressively, while expressing his desire to lift the Eredivisie title at the end of the ongoing campaign.
“Everyone responded well after the first defeat. I will only be satisfied this season if we are crowned Dutch champions at the end”, Mertens concluded.
