One article to clarify who is right and wrong: is Romelu Lukaku oblivious, or did Inter "turn his back" on the hero?
Last June, 29-year-old Romero Lukaku returned to Inter Milan on loan, costing the club 7.8 million euros!
In the warm-up game before the start of the season, he scored his first goal since returning from a header against Lyon. Then Serie A scored 82 seconds into the opening round, equalling the record for the fastest goal in the first round of the league! In October, Inter scored his first Champions League goal of the season in 100 appearances, and in February, he continued to score the winning goal in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final, helping the team win 1-0 against Porto, and surpassing Mertens with 17 goals to become the Belgian player with the most goals in the Champions League.
In the Coppa Italia semi-final on April 5, Romelu Lukaku scored again to help his team draw 1-1 with Juventus; He continued to score in the first leg of the quarter-finals of the Champions League in a 2-0 away win over Benfica. In the second leg of the semifinals, he assisted Lautaro's volley to beat Milan 3-0 on aggregate to advance to the final.
In the final of the Coppa Italia at the end of the season, Romelu Lukaku came on in the 58th minute to help his team win the Coppa Italia title, completing the Grand Slam of Italy's domestic glory. The 37th round of four single-handed goals helped the team beat Atalanta 3-2 at home and sealed the top four in the first round! After assisting Brozovic's long-range goal in a 1-0 win away at Torino, it was the familiar Champions League final that missed a number of chances. After that game, he was exposed by the media to be dissatisfied and was pressed on the bench, rushed to play and did not have full form, which then became the fuse of this summer's "transfer puzzle case".
Last season, Lukaku scored 10 goals and 6 assists in the league, and also had 3 goals and 1 assist in the Champions League, ranking second only to Lautaro in the player's technical and tactical rankings! (10 points full)
Among them, body 8.8, speed 8.1, strength 8.5, shooting 8.8, technique 8.6, passing 8.5, tactics 8.2, leadership 8.6, in Serie A is also the existence of the first gear.
It should be said that Lukaku played a good role as the fulcrum of the team throughout the season, and relieved the attacking pressure of Lautaro against opponents with his strong body and unparalleled impact, and was the hero of the team's victory in the cup, reaching the Champions League final and finishing third in the league! He has scored 16 of Inter's 71 goals and is Lautaro's most trusted partner.
So when faced with the club's price difference of only 8 million euros but never able to get the "cheerful" momentum, Romero Lukaku, who was wronged and even insulted, began to erupt! He believes that without the most basic respect, the club's top management ignores the credit and efforts of the whole season, which is a silent evaluation and denial.
At the same time, the Inter hierarchy did hesitate a little on the Belgian striker! They signed little Thuram, then they will not be as enthusiastic about Warcraft as they were at the beginning. In addition, many goals began to emerge, and the transfer market also gave the club more choices and considerations, so as soon as the two sides stopped and waited, the "disappearance incident" was staged, which kicked off the "face-turning" of both sides!
As for Juve's intervention, the impact on Lukaku is not great! The latter may have the strength to win the league, but not having the Champions League to play is a tough injury. In terms of income, it is not the most important thing for Warcraft, otherwise it would not have refused the invitation of West Asia to compete with Inter! The blame is that the club did not have enough financial confidence to finalize the deal in time, which frustrated the players and made everything irreparable.
