hour Italian journalist for bit for Britt. Co Romano has put
onto Twitter a quote from romelu Lukaku saying this
physically I am fine, but I'm not happy with the situation at
Chelsea
to call has chosen to play with another system. I won't give
up, I'll be professional. I'm not happy with the situation
but I am professional and I can't give up now now for
the last 60 or so minutes, we've been trying to work out when
this interview was
done because of course he scored
the other day. In fact, he's gone. The last two games. Danny
and Tim. And I'm hearing now from the guardian, literally
just hand it to me in the last minute
that the interview was done with Sky, Italy.
Three weeks ago,
quotes. Not hugely helpful, but does change the context. So, he
spoke positively about to go after the Villa Game
and of course, the scored twice this week, so
it was done three weeks ago, but just to remind you. He
said, I'm not happy with situation Chelsea. So, Danny,
I'll come to you first about. That was done three weeks ago.
Does that change anything for you?
Not, not really. It's, you know, it's pretty damning what,
what he said, you know, it's something that when we all
heard it, we were really surprised. It seems to have
come out of the blue. One of the things I would say is that
when you look at the timing of when the interview was
supposedly done,
it comes around about that period when he was playing in
a, to, with Timo, Verna up front. And one of
the interesting things was that you look at those two plays
anything, right? Okay, we'll team of own is going to be
the play that stretches the game
and look how it was going to be one that comes a little bit
short. Lukaku was still looking to stretch the game. Game when
he first started his Chelsea clip career.
He was playing as a long frontman
played that at Everton worked really well played in a to and
he was in Summerlin and he's gone back to playing that now.
But there's a definite frustration from the Kaku
because
he's obviously a record signing. So you build a team
around him. I don't think that Chelsea play to Lukaku
strengths and you know, it still doesn't make it right,
but he's come out and said, but there's definitely a huge sense
of frustration from
him. Timmy played with romelu Lukaku, Everton. So are you
surprised by This Outburst. Well, I'm surprised because
he's not a venomous type of character. He's pretty
calculated. He's a good guy, good teammate. And, you know,
when I look at him,
talk about to cool
and name to cool. That's a, that's a
big thing for a player to do to come out in the press and to
say that the man who doesn't play a certain way.
I think he's frustrated. Absolutely things frustrated,
you know, the way that things happen at into the way he left,
whether he had to be sold for them to recoup some money for
the club etcetera, etcetera. So he didn't get an opportunity to
speak to the fans, the way he wanted to,
and leave on his own terms. And I think
for all the football clubs that he's been at inter is
a spiritual home. It's where he found the most peace playing
football, even though, when I spoke to him a couple weeks
ago, he talked about unfinished business at Chelsea and I think
that was all
so real, but I think it was a brave face to say. I'm here.
Now,
I have to come back and,
and hopefully win some trophies, but this does
seem out of character for him to speak in this way.
Well, further on in the interview, to Sky Sky Sports.
Actually, he does talk about Inter Milan about how he's in
love with it and he wants to go back, not at the end of his
career, but still trying to win trophies when he's still in his
prime. Where do you think this leaves Thomas to court and
romelu Lukaku?
Watch this space right? Rebecca. I just think that
in the next few days. I have a big game coming up against
the pull this weekend.
They're going to have to address this to close going to
have to address it.
You know, you hope that that Chelsea put forth. Romelu
Lukaku to address it, prior to the game as well because this
needs It's some sorting out and look at,
I wouldn't be surprised that
if two people didn't know about these comments,
probably came prior to, it being released. And so
look, I
he's played in the last two games. He scored, you know,
this is the top level football. They're trying to win a title.
He's scoring goals, should be on the pitch. It regardless,
the question.
I think the question has to be asked is
is he to cosigner?
I think that's. That's the one thing, you know, that, that has
to be asked. We know that Chelsea in the past, you know,
at certain points, it brought plays. Then the nest, they
don't necessarily
shoot how the manager wants to play.
You don't have to look at the car, cruise career. Everton
when he played alongside you, Tim his two best seasons.
Everton had like eight for ninth has possession, same
internal and they were outside the top five position.
Chelsea. Don't play the way that look Aku suits, which is
to play on the counter attacking, and there they have
the third best position and league. So time will tell. But
that's the question I'd be looking at is easier to call
sign in. Or is it somebody else within the
club if he was unhappy three weeks ago. Can he be happy now?
It's a difficult one for play or plays want to be playing.
It's as simple as that. But this still is going to cause
problems within the club. There's no question about it
whether he's happy or not. What's been said?
You can't take that back.
We're monitoring. What the Kaku is saying right now, in
a social media, nothing yet from Lukaku. Nothing yet from
the club. If anything happens and developments in the story. We
will of course bring it.
