Romelu Lukaku explains why he made such an incredible impact at Roma after a difficult summer with Chelsea. ‘I’m a professional. A lot of people have talked about me, but I speak on the pitch.
The Giallorossi had not won on their Serie A trips for six months, but there was a riot in Sardinia with a brace from Lukaku, Houssem Aouar and Andrea Belotti striking.
Nahitan Nandez pulled one back in the final minutes from the penalty spot after an attack by Bryan Cristante.
Lukaku now has seven goals in just eight official matches for Roma since his loan spell at Chelsea. Is this Lukaku’s Roma?
“No, Roma is Roma, like I said before, we are a team and we have to improve. We are in a difficult position, but we want to do better for the fans, the city, this whole group of people behind us,” he told DAZN.
Knowing that he did not follow summer training with Chelsea or Roma and that he arrived in the last days of the transfer window when the season had already started, how did the Belgian manage to get on immediately in such a form?
“I am a professional. I worked during the summer. A lot of people have talked about me, but I speak on the pitch. I’m happy with the way things are going and I want to continue like this.
There was also bad news at the Unipol Domus, as Paulo Dybala limped off in tears during the first half after a blow to his left knee.
“I had the chance to play alongside great players in Italy. Dybala helped me a lot, he is the most important player in the team and we hope he recovers as quickly as possible.
Another reason for Lukaku’s good form is the presence of José Mourinho, who had previously worked with him in England.
“I always said that I had a special relationship with the coach. He knows my family and my children, he trusts me and I trust him.
“However, he is also hard on me, like other coaches were in the past. This is the only way for me to improve as a player.
