Spal, Radja Nainggolan explains why he stayed

“I came here only for De Rossi, when he left I thought for a long time.”

Spal midfielder Radja Nainggolan in an interview with Corriere della Sera spoke about his experience in Ferrara: “I came here for Daniele De Rossi and after two days they sent him away…. If he hadn’t been there I wouldn’t have even thought about it.”

“He had strong disagreements with the club, he said so about the rest. I reflected and in the end I stayed, despite everything. I have to help them save themselves,” the Ninja explained.

Nainggolan responded to the words of Walter Sabatini, who had ironically called him a “delinquent”: “I called him and told him that eight drinks a night are few. I also drink 20. And that then I go on the field anyway. He loves me, always advised me to have a quieter life. He thinks I would have a better career. But I disagree, on the field I gave it my all.”
