Romelu Lukaku returns to the Red Devils after missing the two previous meetings. However, the striker had recently suggested that he no longer really had the passion to wear the national team jersey. He therefore seems to have regained the desire, Domenico Tedesco insisting that he did not have to convince him.
“Romelu is very motivated to come here,” said the coach at a press conference. “I didn’t have to convince him, I never had to. This is not the right state of mind to play for the national team. The enthusiasm and honor of playing for the national team are the fundamental elements. »
As for the comments that Lukaku had a few weeks ago regarding the national team, Tedesco explains that he did not discuss it with his player. “I haven’t listened to this podcast, but I was told about it,” confided the coach. “I just listen to what he tells me directly. This is how I want to continue, because it is the best way to build trust and a relationship. What is said to others is not so important. »
