In an extremely shocking and disappointing move, Roberto Martinez, the head coach of Belgium national team has left out AS Roma’s central midfielder, Radja Nainggolan, from his 28-man squad for the 2018 World Cup.
Nainggolan, who is by far one of the best midfielders in the world, is the biggest surprise in the World-cup squad. He was the central piece is Roma’s surprising champions league success in the 2017/18 season.
Responding to questions on Nainggolan’s seclusion from the list, Martinez said: “It was a sad and difficult decision. He is a player with a lot of class and he was voted Roma’s best player, but I’ve made my decision for purely tactical reasons. I have put in place a specific system that works. I can’t use Radja in a secondary role.”
