Inter, Lukaku restarts from Lecce after his debut goal

Romelu Lukaku arrives in the city, Lecce, who speaks as Antonio Conte, the coach with whom he has shown the best in his career. The charge that the technician gave him now has it inside – “I have to thank him because mentally he made me grow, he taught me to never give up and to give my best. This will stay with me until the end”, the words spoken to Dazn – and the intentions are clear: to bring the Scudetto back to the Inter shirt. The Belgian will restart from where he started in 2019/20, against the Giallorossi: newly promoted as then, but this time there will be no San Siro to welcome Big Rom. We will have to wait a week, Saturday 20 August at 8.45 pm against Spezia.

IN 2019

On 26 August three years ago, Conte’s first Inter won 4-0 against Salento and Lukaku scored on his debut, bowing under the Curva Nord. Here I am, I introduce myself. Now the Inter fans know everything about Romelu, they have also known his gray areas with the flight to London last year. But now everything is reset and the Belgian starts with breathtaking numbers in his two seasons in Serie A: the one against Lecce was the first of 47 goals scored in the Italian league, 16 more than any other Nerazzurri player in the two-year period. Networks, among other things, distributed to perfection, which is a confirmation of how devastating Lukaku was in our part: 23 in the first year, 24 in the championship season.

NUMBERS SHOW

No Serie A player who is about to leave has an average of goals per minutes played higher than that of Lukaku, considering the players who have played at least 15 games: in the two seasons at Inter Romelu has scored a goal every 125 minutes played, it is in front of Immobile (one every 127) and Ibrahimovic (one every 140). The rivalry with Zlatan is known, Ciro’s numbers can be an extra boost for Lukaku: the Lazio striker scored in an avalanche also thanks to Simone Inzaghi, who knows that the coach cannot put Romelu in the conditions to take another step forward. The two are estimated, already last summer they had sniffed before the departure of the Belgian. And even without the Belgian, Inter Milan last year were the team that attempted the most shots (348) and made the most shots on target (127) in the whole league: the entrance of the former Chelsea can be devastating. The first demonstration can come against Lecce: three years later, Hurricane Lukaku is ready to hit Serie A again.
