"Critics show he's at the top of the world" (videos)

Thursday, October 10, 2019 will remain a historic day for Romelu Lukaku. Facing San Marino, the Inter Milan player has planted his 50th and 51st goals under the Red Devils sweater. Pushing further the boundaries of the possible and the ceiling of goals scored in the national team.

After this big new performance of "Big Rom", Didier Drogba, the former Belgian teammate in Chelsea and idol this one, was dithyrambic in the columns of Het Laatste Nieuws, the Dutch-language daily newspaper. "It is still far from its ceiling," said the Ivorian, before continuing in the same tone. "Romelu is like a son to me. When he arrived in the locker room in Chelsea, there was an immediate click between us. Also because he literally knew everything about me. Romelu could describe in detail each goal that I scored. In fact, he even knew with what football shoes I had played. But that's not why we got along well. This is thanks to the personality of Romelu. "

"It shows respect for everyone"

If Drogba speaks of Lukaku as "of a son", he is also a close relative, something that has become rare in professional football circles. "It shows respect for everyone. Now, it happens regularly that we have contacts. He knows he can always come to me, "reveals the former Blues star.

And these are not the many criticisms that Romelu Lukaku has to face that will alter their relationship. "This review shows that Romelu is at the top of the world. Only later will the fans realize how good Romelu was at watching his exploits. Now they are used to their phenomenal performances, but there comes a time when it will not be the case. And then there will be only memory. Romelu is not yet at its peak, it still has a nice margin of progress. It is only getting better, "he concluded to Het Laatste Nieuws.
