Former Roma and Inter Milan midfielder Radja Nainggolan has labelled Scott McTominay as an average player. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, despite leading the Partenopei to a Scudetto and earning a Ballon d’Or nomination last season, he still believes McTominay does not have the technique to help a team’s build-up play.
Nainggolan added that he would only put midfielders like Barella, KDB and Luka Modric above himself.
His words, “I don’t like him. He scores a lot of goals, but in general play… he’ll always get 12, 13, 14 goals, but if he has to build play, he doesn’t have the technique to operate between the lines. He’s an average player.
At my peak I was better than him (McTominay) and Hakan Calhanoglu, but I put Nicolo Barella above myself. He doesn’t always score many goals, but when he does, they are important, and you can always feel the difference when he plays. I really like Kevin De Bruyne, he sees things others don’t. I’d put him above me. And if you mention Luka Modric… he has always been one of the best in the world.”
WOW.
