Now, in a conversation with ‘TalkSports’, the former defender said that to defend against the marvelous Belgian attacker you have to do the following: “when you play against Lukaku, every ball is a competition. I’m not going to wait for him to get close to me to feel me, I wouldn’t hit him too much, but I would hit him. It would back him up a bit and when I hit him, I would hit him with everything. “
He also clarified that the psychological game is also part of the strategy to unbalance the footballer from Inter Milan: “Besides, I would approach his ear and tell him that he is garbage, exaggerating, but today he’s playing against me and he’s not going to get the space he needs. You can’t let him get into the game. “
He spoke about the character that must be shown to him when he is going to face him: “you have to make him feel that with you that day everything is going to be different. Tell him: ‘I’m a little different from the rest and I’m going to make it difficult for you. “Keown, after his retirement from football, has been characterized by his self-confidence to speak and not be afraid of anything.
