“I had mental problems in 2018; I will talk about it soon”

At the age of 28, after winning Serie A at Inter Milan where he claims to feel “happy” and now trying to lift the first great title of the Belgian team, Romelu Lukaku is probably experiencing the best moment of his career. But not too long ago he didn't seem focused. And so he revealed it to fans during a question session on social networks. Asked about “mental problems”, this was said by the Antwerp striker: “In 2018 (when he played for Manchester United) I had some problems. I will talk about it very soon. “

“The criticisms? To be honest, I don't give a damn about them. My work is what shows my mentality. I always try to improve and win games. Forget about individual awards. I play to win titles. “ This is how bluntly Romelu dispatched the uncomfortable question of a fan who questioned his effectiveness with the auction.

Regarding his mentality and, even more fundamentally, hitting the opposite goal, he is helped again these days by one of the best strikers of the last decades, the Frenchman Thierry Henry. Titi joined Belgium's coaching staff in 2016 and Lukaku is very grateful for it. “Since we worked together I think I improved my game twice what I thought I could do. I owe a lot to Henry “Romelu said two years ago in The Players Tribune. This week he endorsed it: “Henry is what I need. But the entire selection benefits from his advice. “

Finally he reveals some of his football preferences: “The best midfielder in the world? Kevin De Bruyne, no discussion. I would like to take him to Anderlecht. And the toughest defender I've ever faced is Vincent Kompany. He knows me well. “
