DBasia.news – Roberto Martinez, coach of the Belgium national team, was happy to see Romelu Lukaku happy at Inter Milan. Martinez rate Lukaku bored playing at Manchester United
Different from the rain of criticism, pressure, and a big spotlight when strengthening Manchester United, Lukaku seemed more relaxed with the Nerazzurri and he immediately scored in the Serie A debut match when Inter won a landslide 4-0 victory over Lecce on Tuesday (27/8) early morning Western Indonesian Time.
Lukaku moved from Man United to Inter with a tag of 80 million euros paid over the next five years, aka installments. Martinez was happy that Lukaku moved while hoping he would find his best performance again. The improved performance of the 26-year-old can have a good impact on the national team.
“Romelu needs new challenges. Sometimes, you get bored in a club,” Martinez said, as quoted by the Manchester Evening News.
“Working with (Antonio, Inter coach) Conte will be fun for him and the Inter project, which is eyeing the trophy, is interesting for him. I see Lukaku smiling again and this makes me happy,” continued the former Everton manager.
The climax of Lukaku’s patience has emerged since he rarely played last season under the care of Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. As a result, his appearance was inconsistent and he decided to leave.
Some time ago, Lukaku issued his guts during defending Man United which he considered did not provide a defense when transfer speculation arose.
“They are always looking for scapegoats. That is Paul Pogba, me, or Alexis Sanchez. There are always three of them,” Lukaku explained to the LightHarted Podcast.
“I judge, there are many things that have been said and I do not feel protected. There are many rumors I will go there, they do not want Lukaku, and none of the Man United to stop it.”
“It happened for three to four weeks. I waited for someone to stop it, but nothing happened.”
“It’s always just a matter of him having to leave and not being worthy of being here. If that’s the case, I’ll leave. Fighting for a position is one thing, but being in a place that makes you feel needed is something else,” Lukaku added.
“If you’re happy, you will find a way. No matter if you are on the bench or starting line-up.”
“Unfortunately, no one said that. So, I spent two to three weeks analyzing.”
“Who leaked it? Not me, not my agent. I told them, it’s not good to stay in a place where I am not wanted,” he concluded.
