Wrong goals, nervousness, final tears. The failure World of Belgium leaves in the eyes i chassis of the most awaited star. Romelu Lukaku didn’t leave his mark. His adventure in Qatarexpected for months, pursued due to physical problems and complicated by the results, it turned into a horror film.
LOW GLOSSY – The race of Romelu Lukaku it lasted 45 minutes. Roberto Martinez he threw his “9” into the fray against Croatia at the start of the second half, to unlock the 0-0 draw that was ultimately a doom. In reality, the inertia of the race had also changed: i Red Devils they built series chances with a reference instead of Mertensbut they didn’t find the right spark precisely because of the lack of lucidity of the Inter forward. Great Rome he broke the ice with a header in the 50th minute, blocked by Livakovic. Then the first big chance, in the 60th minute, with the post hit from a good position. Already here, the old Romelu would not have failed. A few minutes later, he was once again the protagonist in the negative: on De Bruyne’s cross, his header two steps from the line went incredibly high.
SERIES ERRORS – Lukaku tried with a lot of good will, but the absence of an obvious condition resulted in poor clarity. In touches and movements. If the awkward detour in the 87th minute, on the touch of Thorgan dangerit seemed justifiable, the excuses fall in the 90th minute, with the most sensational mistake. And that, easy to predict, will accompany the Inter giant for the next few weeks, if not months. Doku serves Thorgan Hazard on the right, his cross crosses the area and reaches Lukaku, who tries something between a stop and a chest support on the net and in fact, he passes it to Livakovic. Croatia’s goalkeeper thanks, Belgium’s World Cup ends.
NERVOUSNESS – At the triple whistle, the Inter striker appeared nervous. The Rai images showed a scary punch thrown to the side of the bench, with the panel falling for obvious reasons. Then Big Rom was framed in tears, consoled by Thierry Henry. The weight of such a failure is too great. Even for broad shoulders like his.
AND NOW, INTER – Now the Belgian will have to go back to thinking about Inter, Serie A and a season that didn’t start very well. Metabolizing the failure will be the first step in getting back on track and taking back the Nerazzurri shirt, to gain confirmation that today is no longer so obvious.
