As soon as he set foot in Naples, Antonio Conte immediately asked his management to do everything to get their hands on Romelu Lukaku.
Although it took a while to get the player he wanted, the coach got what he wanted. And the least we can say is that Big Rom is returning the trust the Italian coach placed in him.
Praise from the coach
A scorer in his first match with Naples, he did it again last weekend, even adding two assists. Enough to delight Antonio Conte, who did not fail to praise the Belgian striker.
“I congratulated Lukaku, he is a good guy who must always be encouraged and supported, whether in a kind way or by raising his voice,” the coach said of his player.
“We must always encourage him”
And Conte continued: “I told him to also make runs behind Mina, not to always go to the duel in order to give instability to the defender by also attacking the space. Romelu is not yet the one we know from a physical point of view.”
If there is still work to be done to find his best physical level, the Red Devil’s state of mind is excellent: “Mentally he is good, he tries to transmit his leadership to the locker room and he is very appreciated. He is an important player, like Di Lorenzo and Raspadori.”
For Big Rom, there will be no European competition this season and he will therefore be able to concentrate on the championship and the Cup. This weekend, it is a duel against Juventus which arrives before a duel against Palermo in the second round of the Italian Cup. The opportunity to increase even more power for the striker, who has not yet played a full match.
