A match without a goal, and Romelu Lukaku finds himself under pressure in the Italian press. The 31-year-old from Antwerp is expected to score in every game. According to some media reports, Lukaku could consider himself lucky to be on good terms with Antonio Conte. However, the numbers tell a different story.
Romelu Lukaku has scored 7 goals in 17 league matches, placing him fifth in the top scorer rankings. Marcus Thuram and Mateo Retegui scored 12 times, Moise Kean 11 and Ademola Lookman 9.
Added to this are 5 assists. The Red Devil is thus involved in 44% of goals in Serie A. Thuram, at Inter, represents 40% of his team’s attack. Retegui (Atalanta) reaches 35%. In the “involvement in a goal” ranking, Lukaku finds himself in a solid fifth place.
A goal every two matches
“Big Rom” scores on average every 184.85 minutes in Serie A. If we take assists into account, he is involved in a goal on average every 107.83 minutes.
“We are in first place, with 44 points out of 57, it’s an excellent job from my team,” commented the coach pertinently. Naples has a market value of 431 million euros. Atalanta Bergamo, AC Milan, Juventus and Inter Milan are above, with values between 477 and 675 million euros.
