After 14 games into the season in which Radja has propelled Cagliari into the top 4 by not just filling the hole left in the squad left by the departure of Barella but exceeding all expectations with his spectacular performances and great leadership. This season has just proved the point that Inter fans needlessly trashing him and his supposed lack of effort was clearly mismanagement on their part. When you continue to force a 31 year into a box to box role you aren’t gonna get the best result and that isn’t cause he isn’t “passionate” enough.

Even an OK coach, such a Maran after losing the first 2 games of the season realized that playing Radja up field and utilizing his mental and technical skills such as quick decision making, reading the flow of the game for interceptions, and his ever present threat as a shooter instead of forcing him to track back and play like Gattuso was a better idea.

Now that inter midfield has been hit with injuries seeing inter fans yearning for him to come back is annoying and frankly pathetic to see.

Also Nahitan Nández is better than your favorite midfielder and that’s the truth.
