The great loser of the Belgian national team, Raja Nainggolan, spoke sharply about the great head coach of the “Dear Devils” Roberto Martinez, who disliked the team from 2016 to 2022.

" I know honestly, but the reason is not less in me. At Euro 2016, Mark Wilmots did not put me at the core, despite the fact that I was among the best. And then Roberto Martinez started burning, turning me off from the warehouse - without any explanation. My arguments seem stupid to me.

In my opinion, Roberto Martinez is a very weak coach, the kind of coach who doesn’t understand in football. And if anyone regards him as good, he simply doesn’t understand. The relevant coach gives the team an idea,. And under Martinez, Belgium is by no means small. All problems were determined by the individual mastery of De Bruyne, Hazard and Lukaku, but there was no consistent style - and that’s a fact.

Martinez did well under pressure, and the results often worked in his favor. Ale vin is not at all self-critical. De Bruyne, for example, although he works in the center, is a professional coach who is right-handed. I don’t know why they started to laugh at the gravels. I, you know, never clicked on Rozmova - I just wouldn’t need you. And all the same: Belgium could have won trophies if they had lost a really good coach,” De Telegraaf quotes Nainggolan as posted on Junior Vertonghen’s YouTube channel.

It is significant that the 37-river Raja Nainggolan now plays for Lokeren in another Belgian division.
