Naingolan: Not optimistic about McTominehoylendorfbik, I am the strongest midfielder in Rome

September 12th Serie A former player Naingolan commented on some current Serie A players and reviewed his career in Rome.

McTominay was elected Serie A player last season

He may be useful in Fantacalcio football games because he can score goals. But I also scored 11 goals in one season and I don't think he's up to my level. I don't like comparisons like this, I was a different style when I was young. He doesn't have many opportunities to play at Manchester United because he doesn't have strong ball possession and skills. In Naples, he fits Conte's tactics, just like the past Jakelini. But Vidal is another level of player.

What do you think of Hoylen, who was signed by Naples?

I don't appreciate him. He is a hard-working player who runs actively, but how many forwards do it? He is like Kelstovic, he works hard on the court and can score goals, but he doesn't perform well with his back to the goal, and I think you have to learn that in a big team. And Keane Jr. I think he is overrated too.

Is Leo overrated?

In my opinion, he has the potential to be a champion, but he has shown too little time. I won't say Leo is overrated, nor do I say he is underrated, because he is indeed very talented. I want to say that he was temporarily delayed, he is a strong player... he can do it when he wants to solve the game, but this happens too little and doesn't match his strength.

Roman midfielder Corne's performance has received a lot of praise. What do you think about this?

I think he is not overrated or underrated, he is a strong player and you can't intercept the ball from his feet because he is very strong. But he lacks goals or assists, which is important. I've seen a lot of players like him who may not end up reaching a high level. I would list Cone as one of the best midfielders in Serie A, but he couldn't play a decisive role in front of the goal.

Where is Rome center Dorfbik?

Dorfbik was overrated. I heard that some people compare him to Dzeko, who is still one of the strongest forwards. He can make his teammates play better, he can assist, and have a broad vision. Dzeko received reasonable criticism in his first season in Rome, but later proved himself a champion.

Remember your derby rival Milinkovic?

He is a good player. But I used to joke that I could often put him in my pocket in my derby, and I really think so. His short sprints are slow, but his long sprints are very strong.

Which is the most ideal midfield combination in your mind?

is the midfielder when I played in Rome, with De Rossi next to me and Pianic slightly ahead, which was a devastating midfielder. I don't know why Juventus will let Pjanic play the midfielder later, which limits his advantage. We are the perfect combination, De Rossi controls the game tactics, I take care of defense and offense, and Pjanic has excellent skills.

Why did you leave Rome?

I was willing to play in Rome for the rest of my life, where the mentality of people is exactly what I want. When I joined Roma, the team wasn't very strong, although there were already some strong players. Over time, I have seen many players with amazing careers coming: Rudiger, Salah, Pjanic... But Juventus was invincible in those years. If it were today, our Roma would have won 5 Serie A championships. However, Rome clubs always have financial problems, so it is not easy to play in the club for many years.

Finally, please tell me about the conflict between Totti and Rome coach Spalletti

The atmosphere between them is a bit strange. They did not quarrel, but there is indeed a misunderstanding. I can understand both sides. Totti obviously didn't want to accept that little playing time, Spaletti didn't give him enough respect, and always scored goals whenever Totti appeared. But Totti was another person outside the court, and he was always kidding because he was at the end of his career and was considering more than playing football.
