From now on, two Belgians share the colors of the Andalusian club with the ex-Anderlechtois: Sambi Lokonga and Stanis Idumbo. The first city makes its return with the Devils, a satisfaction for Lukebakio: “I’m very happy for him. I train with him every day, and he’s a top player. He was waiting for a selection. But he had to concentrate on his injuries, it was hard for him. When he called me, I was very happy for him. Let him seize his chance!“
In the meantime, the U21s will play an important match against the Czech Republic, decisive in qualifying for the U21 Euro. Several players will be missing, because they were selected by Domenico Tedesco to compensate for the numerous absences. “If the players are in A, it’s because he deserves it. I think of Samuel (Mbangula) who plays for Juve. The advice I give them is that we are a group where it is easy to integrate […] As for Seys, I didn’t know him, but I heard good things. May he recover well from his injury.”
Romelu Lukaku is making his big return to the selection, after having “sulked” the previous gathering. Enough to overthrow the leadership within the Red Devils? For Lukebakio, the relationship between him and the Napoli striker is very professional: “Why would I be afraid of him? He’s the big brother! We are competitors and we just say things to each other for the good of the team“.
The Devils already have an appointment this Thursday against Italy. “We didn’t lose the last match, and we’re playing at home. This will be an advantage!“.
