Champions League Important appointment for Dries Mertens tonight. The Red Devil with Napoli on the field of Liverpool qualifying for the next round in the Champions League. For Mertens is it already not the first encounter with Anfield. On a blue Wednesday in 2010, he played there once with Utrecht in the Europa League. The Times sought Mertens on for a back – and preview.

Napoli, Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool in group C all had the chance to win a ticket for the next round of the kampioenenbal. Mertens and co are the best. If the Italians win, or are tied, they are always placed. In both cases, PSG is definitely to the next round, as the French two points more than Liverpool. The ‘Reds’ of Jürgen Klopp must do so at your own field to win in order to survive in the Champions League. At Anfield the atmosphere of the great days rule, so gave Klopp personally. “ It’s a big one . We are going to our fans questions to help us”, said Klopp yesterday. “This is really a hugely important match. We will have a special atmosphere you can create.”

The German crawled back in the role of publieksmenner. But in his interview with ‘The Times’ gives Mertens that the atmosphere at Anfield, not fear. After years in the voetbalgekke Italy is the pocketspits used to quite a lot. “The atmosphere was not special when we came in 2010 with Utrecht at Anfield played”, recalls the 31-year-old Red Devil back. “Liverpool did that night is also an action, children could for a low price to match. Maybe that had something to do. I realize that tonight, more a cauldron will be, the circumstances are there also more to. But we are used to quite a lot, though. The football, the fans and the atmosphere they create in Italy, are crazy.”
