Romelu Lukaku is hungry ! Very hungry. After a start to the season and a World Cup sabotaged by injuries, the Red Devil wants to get back to doing what he does best: scoring and helping the team.
The resumption of Serie A with Inter is now imminent and a crucial duel once morest the Neapolitan leader awaits the Nerazzurri this Wednesday.
An appointment for which Big Rom feels ready. The Belgian striker has been working hard in recent weeks following the global disappointment. “I feel good, we’ve done a great job lately with the team, the coach and the staff“said Romelu Lukaku in an interview with Sky Sport Italia. This same interview where he mentioned the name of Thierry Henry as future coach of the Red Devils.
“Usually I recover quickly from an injury but this time it was more serious than expected.“, then explained Lukaku, returning briefly to the World Cup in Qatar.
“I did everything to get back to it as soon as possible but I mightn’t. I left for the World Cup and I played the last game with two leg workouts in the last 4 months. Croatia, it was a big disappointment but I said to myself: ‘Romelu, you weren’t 100%, you had only done two training sessions. Now you have to unplug the plug, rest for 5 days and resume zero. That’s what I did and now I’m ready. I was rightly slaughtered, but now I just want to start playing once more.”
Back in Italy, Lukaku took advantage of the friendly matches to regain rhythm and confidence (90 minutes and a goal once morest Reggina, 84 minutes once morest Sassuolo). “I am very satisfied, very happy to be back. But I don’t want to talk too much off the field. I want my performances to speak for me. I have worked very hard and I have to give an answer on the pitch. How do I respond to those who say I’m not the same as two years ago? We’ll see that on the pitch.”
