Dries Mertens, who is preparing to say goodbye to Galatasaray, made special statements for A Spor in his last interview in Türkiye.
Here are the prominent of the explanations of the experienced star:
“I didn’t think I would stay in Galatasaray for 3 seasons”
“When I came, I had a plan to stay for a while. I didn’t think I would stay in any way. I played in every match until January this season, I did every training. My body was reacting differently. There is a difference between young and old player.
Barış Alper Description
“I think a very important player Barış Alper. I think he should make a decision about him. Will he stay here or will he take the next step and pass another place? He will make the decision himself.
I cried too much this week. I will not cry anymore. I was very happy for these 3 years, I had fun. It made us feel good. We loved living in Istanbul. We had 9 years in Naples, it was not easy to change. New habits, Ciro’s school, team … It is not easy to leave.
I don’t know exactly what to do right now. I didn’t think. We’il sit with my wife and talk. I will do other things in my life. The most beautiful thing in my life is football. I didn’t even miss a training this year. Maybe another team … I’ll look.
There are other players who will fill the gap, who will take responsibility if they are going. There are too many quality and leading players in this team. “
