Media View: Strootman and Nainggolan hailed once again

MEDI

It's two midfielders who took all the plaudits in Monday's newspapers, after Roma's 1-0 victory over Udinese on Sunday.

See what they had to say about the Giallorossi's star man below...

Corriere della Sera: Kevin Strootman 7.5

"The best out there by some distance. He set up two chances for the wasteful Edin Dzeko, before trusting the more clinical Radja Nainggolan. A leader on the day in the absence of Daniele De Rossi."

Corriere dello Sport: Strootman 7.5

"He warmed up by setting up Dzeko, celebrated a gorgeous first-time assist for Nainggolan and almost carried the midfield on his own. Welcome back."

La Gazzetta dello Sport: Nainggolan 7

"In case his influence in every area of the park wasn't enough - makeshift striker, midfield ball-winner, leader - he also scored. On the volley. Icon."

Leggo: Strootman 8

"He pinched the man of the match award off Nainggolan thanks to three stunning passes, one of which was for the Belgian. He won back possession countless times, immediately snuffing out any Bianconeri mistakes."

Il Messaggero: Nainggolan 8

"A beast. He's not built on endless batteries. We're really starting to wonder whether he is actually the endless battery."

La Repubblica: Nainggolan 7.5

"You switch off for a split second and it's like there are three of him. And he scored too."

Il Tempo: Strootman 7.5

"He turned his team's best provider. Wonderful ball from which Nainggolan gave the Giallorossi the lead. He raised the tempo in the second half and, out of nowhere, it seemed like we were back in 2013."
