Goal from sideline – The perfect afternoon of Nainggolan

The technical area appears to be a third category field. Rolando Maran has trampled on it so much that his shoes have the same color as mud. The water wets the goatee and he waves to give the last indications. I turn to the fourth man and see a red 4 on the light board: outside the Ninja.
Follow 3 TIM Serie A matches every day in live streaming on DAZN There is an ingredient that flavor the perfect race, which Nainggolan plays against Fiorentina. But this, at the time of replacement, we still do not know. We'll find out in the post game when he tells us that love for football exists. And he found it.

The first thing you notice when you look at Radja up close is the crest, neat and flashy like his ball touch; the second one, on the other hand, are the socks cut at the calf, as if to certify the explosive force. When he runs he has a sprung gait, he never leans his heels, he looks like a loaded sling ready to lash out on the ball. Create and recover: in its comfort zone it is devastating.

"Today you made it ugly …" Maran whispers in his ear in front of his bench. He smiles, takes the jacket and then the public's compliments. Boateng emerges from a side door and looks for his eyes: "Oh Ninja, I see you're still physically fine …" dry answer: "And he thinks I am also influenced!"

Cold from 1 goal and 3 assists. As if to remind us that every time we stop at 13 minutes. Unknowingly, just one eye on the stopwatch. Nothing planned, all spontaneous. Simeon bursts into tears inside an applause that does not want to end, the memory of Davide moves him, the Ninja throws him a finger: you are concentrated Cholito, we must win.

Chosen by Goal

The game is over, if it ever started. Nainggolan is the last of his to leave the stadium, first he talked to the press and then he disturbed Rog as he finished an interview. Outside the Sardinia Arena about thirty children are waiting for him in the rain for a selfie. One also asks him for an autograph but he does not have the marker: "Ask on loan!" Suggests the Ninja. He is committed to keeping everyone happy, even the firefighters who have waited until the end, then get in a friend's car: "Rega, now I'm going to magna", I have a hunger you can't understand! " Good appetite Ninja, I thought. If you have fun like that, we'll have fun too.
