Radja Nainggolan: “I can only accept the decision even if I find it a little too harsh”

“I want to say here that I’m sorry for what I did,” Nainggolan wrote. “I see myself that it was a mistake… But I didn’t think about it at the time. The club made a decision which I can only accept, even if I find it is a bit too harsh. But somehow I will keep trying to contribute.”

Earlier in the evening, Antwerp announced that Nainggolan had been dropped from the first team for “an indefinite period” for his behavior. Last week, Nainggolan was stopped by a patrol without a valid driver’s license and had his car confiscated. Sunday, before the match against Standard, the former Red Devil was caught smoking an electronic cigarette on the sidelines as a general smoking ban was decreed in Belgian football stadiums
