Roma midfielder Nainggolan appreciates internal support: Everyone respects eachother here

Roma midfielder Radja Nainggolan has laughed off his derby heroics last week in victory over Lazio.

Nainggolan was outstanding in the crucial win.

"'Superhero' after the derby? I have a good relationship with everyone here and I try to give my best," the Belgian told Sky Italia.

“This relationship with a team is a good thing. Genoa? We're focused on Sunday's game, we talked a lot after Atletico and we'll play this game like we always have.

“How do I feel physically? I'm fine, I had a problem but overcame it. Obviously, I felt it a bit when I was playing with it, but they can count on me.

“We have to compliment Atleti because they're a great team. Losing to them is no cause for drama.

“We're sticking together, still in a good run of form and on track for the knockout stages. No-one would've bet on us being here."
