Roma, Nainggolan : "Derby game? Here is how I made it to play..."

Roma beat Lazio 2-1 in a big Derby game this past week-end. In the end, it was Radja Nainggolan's goal which was the game winner. Here is what he had to say about this game in an interview with Belgian news site Sporza:

" I would've liked to play against Mexico and Japan since the World Cup is a big event for me. Even so, I was really injured. I did play in the Roman derby but I was on painkillers. I was only at 80-85% but I still tried to give it my all. As the game went on, I started feeling the pain which is why I came off late on in the game. It is not my fault that I got hurt with the Belgian national team".

UCL OBJECTIVE - "Roma for the league title? We are feeling well and playing well. Even so, in the past we talked way too soon and we then got disappointed. We are now taking it one game at the time without thinking about the league title. The Champions league is also very important to us. We know that we only have to beat Qarabag in December to progress but we want to do so as soon as possible.If we could, our goal is to finish first within this group....".
