Former Roma star Radja Nainggolan has not held back in his criticism of Matteo Guendouzi following the Italian derby between Roma and Lazio. The former Arsenal midfielder, now playing for Lazio, found himself in hot water after getting involved in altercations with Roma players during the Europa League quarter-final match.
Nainggolan, known for his no-nonsense style both on and off the pitch, did not mince his words when discussing Guendouzi’s behavior. In a recent appearance on the Controcalcio stream, he labeled the French midfielder as an ‘idiot’ and questioned his value to the team.
According to Nainggolan, Guendouzi lacks the necessary qualities to play at the level expected of a club like Lazio. He criticized Guendouzi’s playing style, describing him as a player who only knows how to run and break up play, without offering any real quality on the field.
The former Roma star also took a swipe at Lazio’s decision to bring in Guendouzi as a replacement for Milinkovic, suggesting that the move was a downgrade for the team. Nainggolan’s scathing remarks have sparked debate among football fans, with many questioning Guendouzi’s future at the club.
As the fallout from the derby continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Guendouzi and Lazio will respond to Nainggolan’s comments. One thing is for sure – this heated exchange has added an extra layer of drama to an already intense rivalry between Roma and Lazio.
