“Let’s start with injuries. Lukaku was not born a champion, he doesn’t have the naturalness of the talented striker, as Dzeko does, in his movements and plays.
“His football cannot do without fitness and weekly work. When Lukaku is well, he grows in self-confidence and then in technique, even in dribbling.
“But when he is bad, he becomes a normal player, who struggles.”
He underlined how Lukaku has been insufficient this season and failed to replicate the form he had before his high-profile move to Chelsea.
“The performances so far don’t even come close to being good enough, how can we deny it? It is clear that when Inter brought Lukaku back to
Milan, they had in mind the carry of the two years in Serie A.
“A player capable of making a difference, at least in Italy. Here, that player in 2022-23 has never been seen. Even if in the last few games his attitude and head seem better.”
He laid some of the blame at coach Inzaghi’s door.
“I also expect the current Nerazzurri coach to find a way to affect Lukaku’s performance. As I always say, when a top player does not perform according to expectations,
the blame must also be shared with the technical leadership.
“I would like Inzaghi to also say publicly what kind of work he wants to do with the Belgian.”
