Cagliari signing Radja Nainggolan admits falling out with Inter Milan coach Antonio Conte this season.

Nainggolan has returned to Cagliari on-loan this week for the remainder of the season.

He told Corriere dello Sport: “He's a great coach but it hurt when, after giving me only eight minutes of play, he pointed me out as responsible for everything.

"What could I do in eight minutes? But then I did not say anything I did not open the controversy, nor now.

"I did not miss a training session nor was I a minute late."

Nainggolan also had a word for his former AS Roma teammate Nicolo Zaniolo.

He continued: “He is suffering the same as I suffered. They have put him in the spotlight. It's true that he was wrong with that famous end-of-year video, but who doesn't make a mistake in his life? They attacked me and controlled me on social media as they do with him now. What you have to do is respond on the field."
