Media View: Nainggolan responds in style

NEWS

See who the Italian newspapers picked out as the top Giallorossi performer from Roma's 2-0 win over Crotone on Sunday

Radja Nainggolan and Edin Dzeko grabbed the goals in Calabria...

Corriere dello Sport: [Kevin] Strootman 7.5

"He swept up loose balls all over the park and spotted space in which to hurt the opposition. He sent [Edin] Dzeko and [Mohamed] Salah clear in the box on several occasions with through balls without ever letting the opposition catch their breath. He bossed the game."

La Gazzetta dello Sport: Nainggolan 7

"Ninja fought and dominated proceedings. He scored and made more positive passes and lay-offs than anyone else. His six-goal tally equals his best scoring campaign in Serie A."

Il Messaggero: Nainggolan 8

"[Luciano] Spalletti handed him the captain's armband and kept [Daniele] De Rossi on the bench. He rewarded him with his usual performance at break-neck speed. He scored his ninth goal of the season, his sixth in the league. Roma move back into second and he deserves a lot of credit. He keeps celebrating as only he knows how."

Il Tempo: Nainggolan 7

"He answered his critics with another top-class display. He broke the deadlock in a tight game at Crotone. Roma's most creative player on the day."

Tuttosport: Nainggolan 7

"The best player on the pitch along with Salah. He put in an extraordinary performance besides his goal."
