By insisting on joining Naples and thus finding Antonio Conte, Romelu Lukaku hoped to be able to regain his best level.
For the moment, the Belgian's season is mixed with the Partenopei. Regularly putting himself at the service of the team, he does not have many opportunities to score goals. And if he sometimes manages to make the most of the few balls he receives, there are matches where things go less well.
Silent again
This was particularly the case this Saturday in Genoa. Faced with a team which is in the second half of the standings and which has just been bought by a Romanian investor, Lukaku failed to make the difference. This is not, however, for lack of having had opportunities to do so.
“From the start, he has two good chances to score from inside the area but first he hits the crossbar and then he diverts a ball,” concludes Tuttomercatoweb about the performance of the Naples striker.
“Not the passion of his best moments”
“He fights to try to open spaces but he struggles to make himself dangerous and seems to lack the enthusiasm of his best moments,” concludes the transalpine media, which gives him a rating of 5.5.
If the Italian press has been more lenient recently with Lukaku, after having qualified his lack of efficiency in front of the opposing goal, the criticism concerning the fact that he no longer displays the same level as before comes up very often. His physical form is often singled out to explain this.
Whether at club or national team, Big Rom is not at his best and we will have to find solutions for him. Tireless in training, he will have to find a way to unblock what is not working.
