Romelu Lukaku hasn’t been featured on our site very often lately, which is concerning. It indicates that we don’t have much time to focus on the development of our loan players because Chelsea is having such a terrible time.
Although some may have forgotten, Lukaku plays for Chelsea, and this summer he will return for another unpleasant round of loan hawking.He scored tonight for Roma against Brighton and was questioned about his future following the match. It seems that the itinerant forward would like to make another move now that Jose Mourinho is no longer in charge, but he has learned to be silent about such matters following several scandals in the media over the years.
He responded, “I have to be careful with those answers,” when asked about his future and the fact that his loan is expiring this summer.
Lukaku has a 1 in 2 goals to games ratio and is the top scorer in the Europa League. This summer, there ought to be interest from a few locations.
Lukaku: “I studied in Brighton and loved Roma, but Chelsea was better.”
Romelu Lukaku discusses how Daniele De Rossi has helped Roma change, how he studied Brighton to take advantage of their mistakes, and how he doesn’t want to “create controversy” for Chelsea.
The Giallorossi could not have asked for a better outcome, defeating Brighton & Hove Albion 4-0 at the Stadio Olimpico, a Premier League team.
Leandro Paredes’ deliveries found Paulo Dybala and Lukaku in space, and Gianluca Mancini and Bryan Cristante completed the scoring by meeting crosses at the far post.
“That was a skillful performance. We worked incredibly well and could have scored more goals, but Brighton plays excellent football and constantly looks to pierce the opponent defense with through balls, Lukaku said to Sky Sport Italia.
“But we have to play even better in Brighton than we did today because the English teams never give up.”
After a long Leandro Paredes ball, Lukaku pounced on a Lewis Dunk gaffe to get free on goal. Did he really believe the defense would make that error?
Yes, I had anticipated that he would let it bounce so that I could use my strength to get there first, but he made a mistake with the initial touch. You have to constantly accept these mistakes. I knew what to do there as well because I had studied their goalie before the game.
Lukaku is one of numerous players who are enjoying life under Daniele De Rossi following the Jose Mourinho era. He has now scored 298 goals at the club level in his career.
“The cоаch gives me greаter lаtitude tо push up аnd plаy in midfield. Unlike eаrlier, when I wаs requested tо hоld the bаll аlоft, nоw I hаve tо аttаck the gаp.
“This is my first experience playing as the only center forward in Italy, but I’m adjusting well. Hopefully, we can keep getting better so we can compete well in both Serie A and the Europa League.”
Do Roma expect this season to be any better than the last, when they made it to the Europa League Final?
“Yes, this is a factor that major clubs consider.”
Given his difficulties establishing himself at Chelsea, Lukaku’s goal against a Premier League team will always hold special meaning for him. Roma greeted him like a hero, which gave him the boost in self-assurance he needed.
“It was a different experience, but I could tell right away how devoted the fans are to this team.” I called Radja Nainggolan as well, and he helped me get ready for the appropriate behavior.
“Mourinho and De Rossi are both helping me now. I strive to do my best for Roma since I appreciate her and many people are unaware of my circumstances.
Lukaku was asked if he would prefer to stay at the Stadio Olimpico for the upcoming season, given he is currently on loan from Chelsea.
“I have to be smart about this; I don’t want to start a controversies in England,” he joked.
After all, it was an interview with Sky Sport Italia just months into his Chelsea tenure that wreaked havoc when he confessed to regretting the Inter exit.
De Rossi stresses setting new goals every day and doing your hardest to achieve them. I enjoy that every training session is a test because I believe that highly skilled players need to be challenged.
“He said we have the objective of getting into the top four in Serie A and also progressing in Europe, so we can never let our foot off the gas.”
