DBasia.news – Inter Milan coach, Antonio Conte, matched the performance of his team striker, Romelu Lukaku, with NFL players (National Football League) or the American Football competition in the United States.
Conte said he was impressed with Lukaku’s speed and strength, even though the former Manchester United bomber was somewhat stocky.
Most recently, Inter successfully defeated Genoa with a score of 3-0 in the 36th Serie A giornata at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium, Sunday (7/26) AM.
Lukaku scored two goals, each in the 34th minute and 90+3. While another Inter goal was contributed by substitute, Alexis Sanchez in the 82nd minute.
Lukaku’s first goal was scored by relying on bodily strength to win an air duel with the opposing defender. While the second goal was created through a fast counterattack scheme.
“Romelu [Lukaku] is an unusual player. Although he is 190 cm in height, he is also fast, “Conte said in a post-match press conference session.
“He serves as the center of the game and his attack coming from the middle of the field reminds me of American Football players.”
“I insist to bring him here. He can still continue to develop and attack the opponent’s goal with the desire to score high goals. “
“He is only 27 years old and if he wants to continue to develop, he has an extraordinary future,” he concluded.
Lukaku was brought in to Inter from Man United with a record club purchase of 80 million euro in the transfer market last summer. The Belgian player was contracted until June 2024.
As for this victory, Inter returned to second place of the standings with a collection of 76 points.
The Nerazzurri are four points adrift of Juventus in the top spot who haven’t played this week’s match against Sampdoria.
