Lukaku collapses when he cannot see his son because of COVID-19

Romelu Lukaku is not taking too well the confinement decreed by the Italian government to stop the expansion of the coronavirus that has already claimed 3405 lives in Italy. The Belgian footballer was interviewed by former Arsenal striker Ian Wright and admitted having a hard time being locked up and above all, not being able to enjoy his son.

“I almost went crazy yesterday. I can't go out, I can't train. I feel locked up and have been for nine days now. I miss normal life. Being with my mother and my son. With my brother. I think of everyone and it is sad. You cannot have contact with the people you love, “said the Belgian striker.

Romelu misses her son, who left Lombardy and according to the HLN is in Belgium, but he also fears for his mother, who, being diabetic, enters the population at risk. “I have to be careful. My mother has diabetes so I can't go and hug her. She doesn't come out anymore. My brother and I told him immediately. Do not even think about it. He goes out to the garden and at night, after dark, he takes a little air but nothing else, “he said worriedly.

Inter, says Lukaku, is behaving very well with his players and is giving them all the facilities so that they can keep fit without problems during the running of the bulls. “They gave me an exercise bike because the players live in apartments in the center. I don't have space to train and they asked the group who needed a bicycle or a treadmill at home. A lot of players asked for them and within two hours we all had a stationary bike at home. Also, my physio brings me food every day and I follow my strict diet. At twelve in the morning from the club they send someone with food and we can maintain our diet. I continue with my fish and my vegetables. Actually, I miss training and playing in front of the fans. Now I begin to appreciate what I have, “he admits.

Bad stage in Manchester and back at Inter

The striker also had time to talk about football with Wright and they reviewed his time at United, where he never found the level he is showing at Inter. “Anybody can have a bad year and that is what happened to me at United. It was a difficult situation. I had to make a decision about where to go to learn and work with someone who really loved me. Ole wanted me to stay but I said no. He did not have the necessary energy. He deserves all the credit possible because he behaved like a man and helped me out. United are starting to do well because they are choosing the right players. Ole is doing a great job and the results are good. I wish you all the best. As a club they gave me some facilities to work that I had never seen in my life “, ensures about your old club.

Italy admits, it could have come earlier after Juventus' previous interest, but they say they are very happy at Inter. “The Juventus option was close but I preferred Inter and Conte. As a child I always looked at Adriano, Ronaldo and Vieri. Obviously, when Inter and Conte called me, who already wanted me at Chelsea and Juve, I wanted to try to see how I was doing, duck my head and work hard. Here in this area of ​​Europe they are very different. We dine together two or three times a month and no one skips dinner. The team is good and the best we have as a whole. When you see how we play, you see that we all work. We are the ones that try hardest and the most aggressive. The coach convinces us to be able to play like this, “said the Belgian striker.
