Romelu Lukaku chose to sign with Napoli last summer. He found his trainer Antonio Conte there. The Italian technician gave a press conference before the match against Venezia and put enormous pressure on the shoulders of the Red Devil.
Lukaku is the top scorer in the history of the Red Devils and Naples put 30 million euros on the table last summer. Big Rom is the successor of ex-Charleroi striker Victor Osimhen. For the moment, Lukaku has six goals and four assists in fifteen league matches.
High expectations
Conte was asked about the form of his offensive leader. “Lukaku is one of the 21 players we have. Now that he is at the top, the expectations for him are higher than for the others, he is a world-class player and his CV has higher expectations . He has to keep doing what he’s doing, he knows that too. He has to live up to those expectations.”
Conte also spoke about Napoli’s goals. “The goal is to find unity, in the sense that we have to look at what type of game you play, what type of game we have to play, on that we have to improve. When we are behind, we have to learn to recognizing that something is changing and adapting to the new situation. It’s part of the growth process, it’s something we need to improve, sometimes we stumble when something changes.
An exciting title fight
The fight for the Serie A title is extremely exciting. Charles De Ketelaere and Atalanta are in the lead with 40 points. Napoli follow with two points and Inter are third with 37 points. Lukaku was already Italian champion with Internazionale. Last season, the Belgian striker wore the AS Roma jersey.
