In search of a world-class goalscorer, Chelsea spent 115 million euros to snatch Romelu Lukaku (28 years old, 9 games and 4 goals in all competitions this season) from Inter Milan last summer. While the departure of the Belgian caused a big stir in the city of Lombardy, the coach of the Blues, Thomas Tuchel, had a small thought for the Nerazzurri supporters this Saturday on the occasion of the Festival dello Sport.
“I’m sorry for the Inter fans, but like everyone else, we are trying to improve our team, the German said. We were looking for a very physical striker, a point of fixation, a player with a personality that could take the pressure off the shoulders of young players and give us the chance to play football faster. A return to England, where he played when he was younger, was important to him. I knew he was a person. extraordinary.”
Despite a recent empty pass with 5 consecutive games without scoring, the Belgian has so far achieved a generally convincing comeback.
