Nainggolan on Martinez: “Terrible coach, he didn’t have a single idea”

by

THE Raja Nainggolan she still misses him Roberto Martinezbecause he “finished” him from the Belgian national team several years ago. The former international midfielder, who now plays for Lokeren in Belgium’s second division, believes that the Spanish coach did his national team a disservice and “spoiled” a very talented generation.

I didn’t have the impact I could have. I know that, I’m honest, but it wasn’t just my fault. Wilmots didn’t start me at Euro 2016, even though I was one of the best players there. Then Martinez kicked me out of the team for no reason. I find his reasons absurd. Because, in my opinion, he is not a football expert and he is a terrible coach“, he emphasized.

Anyone who says they are a good coach knows nothing about football. A good coach is one who gives the team an idea, and with Martinez, Belgium have never had one. Whenever we had problems, the solution came with the individual skills of De Bruyne, Hazard or Lukaku. But we never had a set style of play. And that is the truth. I think Belgium could have won trophies if they had invested in a good manager, even once“, he added.
