Roma hero Nainggolan: De Rossi comparison is pure madness - Carlos Volcano

Nainggolan expressed to Il Tempo: "When I first heard about De Rossi's dismissal through the press release, I was shocked. It felt like a completely irrational decision. Just last year, he had reassured us all by stating that money wasn't his main motivation, and then he proved his worth with strong performances on the field."

"They gave him a three-year contract announcing it with great fanfare and now this...

"After four games he was fired, it seemed strange to me, pure madness. They can say what they want about the results, but if all the players are on his side, evidently there is something more than what they say.

"This dismissal seems like a joke to me, it cannot be justified by the fact that he has drawn three times in four games, in the end he has only lost one game."

On Juric, Nainggolan continued: "He did well with Torino and Verona. Now he's in a big team, he has to bring out the players' qualities a bit more. He's always played very physical and very intense football. Roma doesn't have a team to get into the top four. It won't be easy at all to get into the Champions League."
