The center forward remained training with the national team. The company is waiting for him to recover or other measures will be taken. With an eye to the future
As they say in Castel Volturno (but also in Turin, Rome, Naples and Antwerp): when the going gets tough you start playing hard. Lukaku calls (late) and Napoli responds in their own way: see you next Tuesday, the day set for the restart, when the match against Milan – in which Big Rom will not participate – will have six players missing and will have to be experienced in a climate of possible serenity. No tricks and no deception: the fine was considered a palliative, what do you want a couple of hundred thousand euros to be for someone who earns eight and a half million a year? It’s the principle that counts, or rather the rules, and Napoli chose not to be tolerant towards their centre-forward, who preferred to stay in Antwerp training rather than do it with his teammates.

To restore order, Napoli informed Lukaku that they will start again on Tuesday and he will have to be there, whether he likes it or not: otherwise, he will find himself out of the squad, he will train alone and blablabla. Problem that we will try to resolve in these hours, because nothing lasts forever: Pastorello, the player’s manager, is waiting to speak with Manna, manager of Napoli, in a call (the second) that has just been scheduled and in which we will try to soften a situation that risks reaching a point of no return. And this is not the case: there is not only the end of the championship to protect but also, brutally, an economic deal called Lukaku. Because football is about feeling but also about business.
