Milan based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport have heaped praise upon Radja Nainggolan for the Inter midfielder’s performance in the Nerazzurri’s 1-0 triumph over Parma last night.
“Here he is again, with his old hair back. The old Radja is back, or maybe the new Radja? Because ever since coming to Inter, there has been no sight of the kind of Radja that was seen last night,” their report reads.
“Of course it is not all about the hair, but there is a lot symbolism in it, especially after a night like this. There is a coach in Spalletti that looked him in the eyes and relied on him.
“Last night he pulled it off, being the protege giving a hand to his tutor. It is never too late to turn things around and their story will restart together with last night’s performance.”
They then went on to explain some of the reasons that could’ve been behind his good performance.
“He has lost four kilos, is maintaining a better diet and has a real desire that became evident hours before the match when he defended teammate Marcelo Brozovic through social media. It was another symbol in a symbolic night, the past is the past, let us move forward.”
