HUGE CONFESSION FROM NAINGGOLAN: "I SHOULD HAVE CHOSEN INDONESIA"

hbvl, one of the leading sources of the Belgian sports press, made a highly striking news about Radja Nainggolan, who was engraved in memories with the jersey of Italy Serie A team AS Roma. The experienced midfielder, who represented the Belgium national team throughout his career, openly expressed that he felt a huge regret for not choosing Indonesia, his father's hometown. According to the details, the successful football player made a historic visit to Indonesia in 2013. During this visit, he saw with his own eyes the 70.000 enthusiastic fans filling the stadiums, that unique intense attention shown to the national team players and the indescribable football passion. Moreover, the giant sponsorship agreements that the players in the Indonesia national team received from world-famous prestigious luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton, Hublot and Rolex did not escape the attention of the star name in any way. Re-evaluating all this glorious picture years later, the experienced football player deeply questioned the decision he made at the international level. Explaining his choice at that time with a great sadness, the star player used exactly these expressions: “I could have had a 15-year national team career with Indonesia.” Continuing his words and telling the background of the decisions he made in his youth with a great sincerity, Nainggolan completed his thoughts with these words: “I was not thinking about these back then, but now I am 38 years old and I look at things differently.” The star name confessed with a great sadness that he almost pushed away that unique status and incredible branding opportunity he could have had on the Asian continent. The sports public welcomed these sincere statements from the star player with a great surprise. Both Belgium and Indonesia fans talked about this historic confession on social media platforms for a long time.
