This Wednesday, Romelu Lukaku was expected at the turn. Back following his controversial remarks, he was titular during the meeting once morest Tottenham in the semi-final of the Carabao Cup. In the game, Romelu showed himself to be willful, without being really decisive. What to achieve a first step towards redemption in “his heart club”.
Logically, Big Rom ‘might understand the reaction of the fans. Overall it has been quite positive. It must also be said that the colossus put his own to it from the start of the meeting with a breakthrough following only 25 seconds of play.
During the meeting, the top scorer in the history of the Red Devils was strongly chambered by Spurs supporters. “He’s Inter Milan, he’s Inter Milan!” Not enough to intimidate Big Rom ‘who responded with an index finger on the mouth at the time of his team’s second goal.
In the newspapers, his grade fluctuates between 6 or 7. “The Belgian received a mixed reception on his return to the eleven and responded with a fairly average performance, but he came close to a whim and launched Ziyech”, estimates in particular the London Evening.
Yet at the end of the meeting, the players achieved a lap of honor following this victory which gives them a good lead before the return match. And Romelu Lukaku was quite well received at the applause. Evidenced by this sign from a supporter announcing: “Lukaku, we still love you”.
Obviously, a sign does not mean that all of Stamford Bridge is for its cause. But although he is on the right path to regain a stadium that he had already discovered when he came of age.
