Romelu Lukaku is Antonio Conte’s choice for the post – Osimhen, but the Belgian striker has not shone for the national team.
Antonio Conte has already decided: he wants, or rather, he wants back, Romelu Lukaku. The Belgian striker, who has always been the footballing godson of the Apulian coach, has already spent two years under his management, delivering a championship to Inter. In a recent interview, the striker himself defined Conte as the best coach he has ever coached.
This evening, the Chelsea striker, in his last season at Roma, is on the pitch with his Belgium against the former Napoli’s Slovakia, Francesco Calzona. Stanislav Lobotka’s team, in great shape this evening, managed to beat the most highly rated Belgian national team, taking the lead in the very first minutes of the match. A historic result obtained by the technical commissioner, fresh from a more than disappointing experience under the shadow of Vesuvius.
Lukaku, nightmare evening: between errors and VAR, how many wasted opportunities for the striker
An evening tainted precisely by Lukaku’s mistakes, not in his best version. The Chelsea striker, in fact, missed at least two clear goalscoring shots. Not only mistakes for “Big Rom” however, the first striker was also quite unlucky: in fact, two goals were disallowed by the VAR for the player, who had managed to get Belgium back into the match.
The Neapolitan fans, who observed the match with particular attention, given the possibility of seeing Lukaku at Napoli, did not wait long. Many comments on social media from Neapolitan supporters, with many underlining the lack of malice of the latter in front of goal, at the same time, many others pointed out how the net had found him more than once.
We remind you that negotiations between Napoli and Chelsea are currently blocked. The blues do not want to grant a further loan of the player and want to sell him permanently for around 40 million. A formula that does not convince Napoli, who would still like to try to please Conte. At the same time, however, it will be fundamental to define the future of Victor Osimhen. The Nigerian, who is observed with particular attention in the Premier League, to date has not yet closed with any club, indeed, many do not seem willing to pay the 130 million clause into Napoli’s coffers, in short, it will take time, a time which Napoli certainly won’t be able to wait forever.
