Lukaku: “Playing for Belgium is like walking into a sweet shop: you can do anything”

Guest of the site of the UEFA Romelu Lukaku, Chelsea and Belgium striker, recounted his ambitions and goals on the eve of the Nations League ‘Final Four’: “The 100 appearances for Belgium? One hundred appearances are something you try to achieve as a young man. I was lucky enough to have started at an early age: now I am 28 years old. It’s been almost 12 years with many ups and downs, but as a team we have always continued to grow. In the end, the ultimate goal remains to win and this is my motivation. Every time I play for the national team I want to win. And win a tournament. Am I the all-time top scorer for the national team? I didn’t immediately start scoring goals for the national team. It took me some time. But once I got used to it, I knew I would have the opportunity to score and that the other players would let me do it. And everyone else started scoring too, not just me: Eden [Hazard], Kevin [De Bruyne], Dries [Mertens]. This made me think that we have a really high quality up front. And for me it was like a sweet shop: always scoring goals ”.
