The coronavirus pandemic does not stop and attacks Europe with force after exploding in China a few months ago. The area that is in the most critical situation is that of Italy, where there are more than 47 thousand infected (It is the second country with the most positive cases) and is the country that has suffered the most deaths worldwide (4032 people died).
Romelu Lukaku, one of the main figures of Inter, a club located in the Milan area, described during an interview conducted through a video call with Bleacher Report, the harsh situation he observes from his department, where he is carrying out a quarantine (his team was the last to face Juventus, an institution that announced two positive cases of COVID-19 – the Italian Daniele Rugani and the French Blaise Matuidi-).
"It is like living in a bubble, you try to understand what is happening and at the same time you know that you are in the most affected country in Europe," the scorer of the neroazzurro cast began with 17 goals in Serie A. And then, he added : "In some cities you only hear ambulance sirens coming and going.".
The Belgian striker hinted that the leaders delayed the decision to postpone the local tournament. “I already knew it was only a matter of time before a player contracted the disease. Unfortunately it happened, and now the list is getting longer. It's difficult because the sport you love is missing, but general health is much more important than soccer now"
When asked about going back to training with his teammates (Napoli announced that he will start his practices this Wednesday), the point was blunt: “Before starting public health again, it should be safe. There is still a risk that players will get sick"
Finally, he explained how he takes the insulation away from his family: “We have great group chemistry. We have a WhatsApp chat that we talk to every day. "
