Radja Nainggolan Slams Mattéo Guendouzi: “Not Worthy of Lazio”

In a show broadcast on Twitch, Radja Nainggolan was extremely critical of Mattéo Guendouzi. The former Belgian international believes that the Lazio midfielder has no qualities apart from… “athleticism”.

For his first season in Italy, Mattéo Guendouzi definitely didn’t just make friends. Midfielder for Lazio Rome since the end of last summer, the former Marseillais recently made headlines following a big clash with Paulo Dybala. A few days after this altercation, this time it was a former member of the Italian championship who attacked the Frenchman.

Guest of the show ControCalcioon Twitch, Radja Nainggolan was extremely critical of the 2022 world vice-champion. “Guendouzi only knows how to run. It’s a pipe, I say it clearly. They let Sergej Milinković-Savić go to replace him by someone like him”, lamented the former Belgian international (35 years old, 30 caps), notably with AS Roma (2014-2018) and Inter Milan (2018-2021).

“His endurance? It’s a quality for athletics, not for a football player”

“Tell me just one of his qualities. How many goals has he scored? Just one (three in reality, Editor’s note). Is he fast? No. His endurance? It’s a quality for athletics, not for a football player. For me, he is not a player worthy of playing for Lazio or for a team in the first half of the table. He is a normal player”, continued Nainggolan, player of Bhayangkara Presisi ( Indonesian D1) since 2023.

Arriving at Lazio in the final hours of the last summer transfer window, Guendouzi quickly established himself in the midfield of the Italian club. He played 40 matches in all competitions, including 32 as a starter. He was notably in the eleven during the double confrontation against Bayern Munich in the round of 16 of the Champions League (1-0 victory in the first leg, 3-0 defeat in the return), he who had been named man of the match during success in the first leg of the Laziale.
