Mertens, who motivated the yellow-red team not only with his performance but also with his teammates, made him feel his lack of being on the field.
The yellow-red team, which averaged 2.15 goals per match in 20 league matches in which the Belgian star played, scored once in 2 matches in the absence of Mertens.
In addition, not only the offensive, but also the defensive power of the yellow-red team decreased in the absence of Mertens.
