Football mission! Nainggolan: His father ran away from home to avoid debts, and his mother raised 5 children alone.

A few days ago, Belgian midfielder Nainggolan, who has played for Cagliari, Roma and Inter Milan, opened up on the podcast "Take A Seat" hosted by YouTuber Junior Vertongen. He talked about his difficult childhood and adolescence and his original intention of playing football was to help his family, especially his mother.

Nainggolan said: "That was my mission. In the end, I really paid off all the bills for my mother one year before her death, even the last payment."

Nainggolan's mother is Flemish, and his father is Indonesian. But his father ran away from home to escape debt and returned to Sumatra, leaving his mother to raise five children alone. Nainggolan recalled bitterly: "When I was young, financial difficulties were the norm. After my father ran away, my mother had to face everything alone. It was too difficult for her."

"When I was a child, before spending any unexpected expenses, my mother had to I consulted a lawyer first. It was very embarrassing. Sometimes I wore the same outfit for four days in a row because I had no other choice. I even worked in a bar to make some money to help the family. I knew it was wrong, but there was no other way."
