Walter Sabatini and Radja Nainggolan , hate and love. Interviewed on Twitch by the Gazzetta dello Sport, the former Rome director spoke of one of his creatures: the Ninja, in yellow and red, lived the best moment of his career.
Words of affection, those of Sabatini, but without beating about the bush on those off-field defects that have marked his fame: «I am fond of all the players I have brought to the Giallorossi», he said, «the one that made me most angry it's Nainggolan that I love like a son, but he's a delinquent , he's someone who if you put 7-8 shots in front of him he drinks them all ».
The director continued by outlining the character of the former Cagliari player, in parallel with his talent as a player: «For him, life is a game, but he has good feelings. He's an exhibitionist , his teammates should have helped him more, they shouldn't have indulged him but marked him tightly. He always had everything he wanted. On the pitch he is a top-level player . What I saw him do in Rome I haven't seen in other players».
