Genoa –
Inter Milan coach Antonio Conte used to think that Romelu Lukaku was a diamond in the rough. Now thanks to polishing, the rough diamond has proven its brilliance.
Inter managed to beat Genoa 2-0 over Luigi Ferraris in the fifth week of Serie A, on Saturday (10/25/2020). Despite winning, the Nerazzurri struggled with Genoa, especially in the first half.
Il Grifone’s disciplined play caused Inter to almost go crazy to penetrate their defense. La Beneamata didn’t even shoot on target in the first half.
Fortunately in this stalemate, Inter have Lukaku. The Belgian striker broke the tie in the 64th minute. The Nerazzurri’s triumph culminated in Danilo D’Ambrosio’s goal in the 79th minute.
Lukaku’s goal against Genoa continues its fertile period this season. He has scored seven goals in six games.
Lukaku only failed once in a match, that is, when Inter drew 1-1 with Lazio. Conte admits that Lukaku has progressed faster than last season.
This can’t be separated from Conte’s cool hand polish either. The former Chelsea manager considered Lukaku an underdeveloped forward. However, thanks to hard work, the level of play of the former MU striker can rise rapidly.
“Romelu is now a different player than last year. I always said in the past that he was a rough diamond that I wanted to polish,” Conte said. Soccer Italy.
“He’s working hard and you can see the way he receives the ball, the way he moves, everything has improved,” he explained.
Lukaku came to Inter last season from Manchester United with all his doubts. The reason is that he is considered to have underperformed in his final season with the Red Devils because he only scored 15 goals in 45 games.
Now all these doubts have disappeared after this Anderlecht academy graduate found his shine with La Beneamata.
