Romelu Lukaku's physical decline from Adonis to having muscles as fragile as butter has stunned Inter Milan's coaches... his struggles prove the Chelsea flop only plays well under Antonio Conte and 36-year-old Edin Dzeko is a surer bet in front of goal!
- Lukaku hasn't played since the end of August after a string of injury problems
- Simone Inzaghi and Inter's coaches are stunned at his physical collapse
- Belgian striker is a shadow of the player who destroyed Serie A last time around
- Inter will have to give serious thought to whether they want to buy him next year
- Having flopped at Chelsea following £97.5m transfer, Lukaku still declines
IS LUKAKU A MIRACLE OF CONTE?
In Italy, the most obvious feeling is that Lukaku is simply the most successful result of Antonio Conte, who managed to transform a normal player into a top player by physically reconstructing the Belgian striker like a Riace bronze.
In his career, Lukaku has only peaked under the physical and technical management of Conte. The Italian coach always studied the career of the Antwerp-born giant, managing to find a perfect tactical position for him.
Without Conte, Lukaku's career would have evaporated back to the clumsy levels of Manchester United.
Can a single coach exaggerate the qualities of a young athlete? Probably the answer is yes, considering that Lukaku was only considered a top player in the period spent close to his favourite manager.
Lukaku isn't decisive when he has to talk to his team-mates and his best quality is to split defences in two by running vertically.
When he fails to exploit these characteristics he becomes useless and for this he had his great conflict with Thomas Tuchel at Chel sea.
Damn they really shitted on Lukaku in this article!
