Radja Nainggolan weighs in on Roma’s first half the season: “It hurts to see them where they are.”

Former Roma man Radja Nainggolan shared his opinion on Roma’s first half of the season.

With still a lot to play for, Nainggolan weighed in on Roma’s chances to steer the ship in the right direction.

“It hurt to see Roma where they are right now.”

“In Rome I lived my best years in which we were always high in the standings,” he told Rete Sport.

“Since I left, the Giallorossi have not played in the Champions League. I see that the team is improving, but there is still a long way to go, there are many points to recover.”

“It is strange to see 3 coaches with such different ideas succeed each other: Paredes who did not play before and now he does, Bove, a starter under Mourinho, is sent away. I would never have sent Edoardo away.”

“De Rossi? His sacking shows the club’s ineptitude. They had just given him a 3-year contract, and he had done better than Mourinho, collecting many points and he was fired after only 4 games: it’s inexplicable.”

“Does this Roma have any leaders? I don’t know. Being a leader does not mean raising your arms and showing yourself in moments where there are heated confrontations during the match, for example as Mancini does: being a leader is something more, they get you out of difficulties.”

“Dybala? If he is well he makes the difference: he is always to be kept. I have played many times injured to send a message to the team. The important thing is to give everything on the pitch, then everyone manages their own life as they see fit.”
