Big Rom is ready for the second game against Inzaghi’s team: “Respect is not expected.”
With three consecutive victories, Daniele De Rossi’s team is flying high in the standings and getting ready for the crucial clash against Simone Inzaghi’s Inter. This marks the coach’s first big match of the season, followed by the double showdown in the Europa League playoffs against Feyenoord. De Rossi will heavily rely on Romelu Lukaku for the match against the Nerazzurri, with the striker seeking redemption after his disappointing performance at the Meazza, compounded by the jeers of the 70,000 fans at San Siro which affected his game. Big Rom himself is gearing up for the monumental showdown against his former club.
BIG ROM’S MESSAGE
In the afternoon, the Belgian striker posted a story on Instagram featuring lyrics from DMX’s “How’s It Goin’ Down.” The song tells a tale of betrayal, and the lyrics chosen by Lukaku are aimed directly at the Nerazzurri: “Respect is not expected but it’s given ’cause it’s real, being neglected’s the norm, expect it, the deal.“
This post is not coincidental, as Lukaku used the same phrase from DMX in July 2023 when his relationship with Inter was under scrutiny. Now, it’s a new challenge against his past, this time at the Olimpico where the fans will rally behind him for his special redemption.
