The Uruguayan ace started the game on the bench, but replaced http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Omar-c28540 El Kaddouri at half-time, when the Azzurri were 2-0 down. However, the 25-year-old failed to turn things around in his side’s favour.
“Let's not make Cavani any bigger than he really is. We simply put in a strong performance in defence”, Mertens was quoted as saying to goal.com.
The prolific winger, who has been plying his trade at Philips Stadion since arriving from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Utrecht-c39237 in the summer of 2011, went on to insist that his side dominated proceedings throughout the 90 minutes.
“Everybody says that Napoli were very poor, but we should not forget that we put in a great performance. We dominated proceedings from the first until the final whistle. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 might have fielded some reserves, but the guys who did play are all good players,
too”, Mertens concluded.
PSV started the game aggressively, and after putting consistent pressure on the Napoli defence, they managed to grab the lead in the 19th minute through http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jeremain-Lens-c18323. Mertens doubled his side’s advantage four minutes before the half-time break,
while Marcelo’s header sealed an impressive 3-0 victory for the Boeren.
PSV goalkeeper, Boy Waterman, was also delighted with his side’s comfortable victory against the Serie A outfit, and admitted that everyone put in a good show.
“You don't expect to have such a quiet night when you meet Napoli. We played a great game, though, and you can only be satisfied when you record a 3-0 victory”, Waterman said while talking to goal.com.
