Er Pupone came off the bench against Sampdoria on Sunday, setting up a goal for Edin Dzeko and scoring a late penalty himself.
“With Sampdoria we saw how Totti coming on created enthusiasm in the fans,” Nainggolan said at a sponsors’ event, as reported by Gazzetta dello Sport.

“With Sampdoria we saw how Totti coming on created enthusiasm in the fans,” Nainggolan said at a sponsors’ event, as reported by Gazzetta dello Sport.
“I wonder why we didn’t feel that enthusiasm in the first half? We were losing 2-1 and the whistles came. It’s not easy to play with calm and security.
“With Totti the match changed, not least because the backing was two or three times greater.”
