Romelu Lukaku was a ghost of himself against Atalanta, a turning point is needed with “his” Inter but the precedents are terrible
That’s not how it goes. Romelu Lukaku he knows it, as well as Conte. The match againstAtalanta it was the reflection of a very strange season so far for the Belgian. Super start, then a drastic decline. The peak of San Siro and then nothing again. Against Bremer, Ismajli, Baschirotto and Hien, he didn’t touch the ball, demonstrating all the limitations that were evident even before the start of the championship around his name being linked to Napoli.
Al Maradona was a ghost of himself. The bad version that was also seen at Chelsea and in some games at Roma. Already in Inter bis he had not been able to repeat what he had done with Conte and he had raised the alarm bells. Napoli’s attack cannot be based only on its banks and shoulders, especially if it fails even in this, because it is lost in the grip of its opponents.
Lukaku finds Inter again: the precedents are few but negative
Next Sunday Lukaku will return to San Siro again. What was his most welcoming home. In the Nerazzurri-colored stadium he won a championship and now he will find his old fans again. Some despised him simply for being compared to Juventus. Others, however, still remember him with great affection. We certainly expect a mixed reception for the Belgian, who needs to find himself.

Yes, because Lukaku he scored 4 goals and 5 assists, but is unable to find consistency. The latest performance at Maradona highlighted obvious shortcomings, which were punished with very harsh grades even in this morning’s report cards. The opportunity to get back up is precisely in “his” San Siro, against “his” Interbut it won’t be easy at all.
Despite a less than perfect defense by the Nerazzurri, the marking of the Inter defenders (especially if Acerbi were to return) will be very difficult to overcome. LukakuFurthermore, he does not boast a positive score against Inter. There are just 2 precedents, both dating back to last year when he wore the Roma shirt and they saw a Big Rom not being too “Big”.
Zero goals and zero assists for two defeats 4-2 and 1-0. With the Giallorossi he failed to leave his mark, but on Sunday Lukaku will try to reverse the trend. Conte needs him and so does the Napolito get the 3 points again and perhaps bring the Nerazzurri back to -4.
