The words of the Roma forward: ‘They criticized me the whole summer, but I talk on the field. Me, like Pelé? He won three World Cups with Brazil, I haven’t won anything yet.’
I am who I am and this is it. There was a lot of talk about me in the summer, But instead of replying I stayed silent and worked hard every day. And Now you have seen what I can do, I do my talking only on the field” This is how Romelu Lukaku, spoke again after scoring 4 goals against Azerbaijan
In the mixed zone, the AS Roma forward also responded (smiling) to those who compared his international goal record to that of Pelé: “I just did my job. Pelé won three World Cups with Brazil, I haven’t won anything yet. So, I’m realistic about it.”
When asked about being Belgium’s all time Top Scorer: “You know, since I was a child, I wanted to become Belgium’s all-time leading scorer. I achieved that. After that, I don’t think about it anymore and just keep going. What happens now is a bonus. Actually, I don’t worry too much about it.”
