Romelu Lukaku, at the end of the match against Cagliari, in which he scored a brace, spoke to DAZN. Here are the words of the former Inter Milan striker:
Is this Lukaku’s Roma after this start of the season?
No, no, Roma is Roma. We are a team, and we need to improve. We’re in a tough position, but we are growing. We have the desire to do better. We must perform better for the fans and the city, with an entire population behind us. I’m happy for this victory.
There was talk about reaching peak physical condition and adapting to the environment, but you’ve made a great impact. What’s the secret?
I am a professional; I worked hard this summer. Many people talked about me the whole summer, but I don’t speak; I say what i have to say on the field. We need to continue like this.
How well are you getting along with Dybala?
Very well. I’ve been fortunate to play with great players since I arrived in Italy, and Dybala is someone who helps the team and helps me a lot. It’s a shame that he got injured; we hope he can recover soon because he’s the most important player in our squad.
How important was Mourinho in your decision to come to Roma and for this immediate impact?
We have a special relationship; he knows my family, my children. I trust him, and he trusts me, but he can be tough when he needs to be, like other coaches who have coached me. It’s the only way for me to grow as a player.
