Thursday regarding romelu Lukaku. I'm sure you've seen
the quote, the main one, from an interview. He did a few
weeks ago, but the quotes only came out on Thursday
to sky sport, Italy. Physically. I'm fine. He said,
but I'm not happy with the situation at Chelsea. Two
colors 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, reminder, three weeks ago. The
interview was given quotes came out on Thursday. So yesterday,
Thomas, uclan, this pre-match interview, of course
was asked about it.
If I could begin by asking you, please for your thoughts,
whether you're disappointed, upset, angry that remedy has
made his feelings of unhappiness.
So public,
yo, we don't like it, of course, because it brings
brings noise that we don't need and just not helpful.
But on the other side, you don't make want to make more
out of it than it actually is,
you know, you know, very well how it is. It's a very easy. He
to
take lines out of context. It's very easy to to shorten lines,
make headlines. And then later
realize that it's not so bad and maybe not what he meant.
But
let's be honest. Also with it. We don't like it. I don't like
it. Like I said, because it's noise that we don't need.
We need a calm environment and focus
and does not help.
It's a lot of noise. It's not only a little bit of noise.
It's a lot of extra noise.
But but but but still we are like not here to just read
the headlines. And, and maybe we here, can can take the time
to try to understand what's going on because it does not
reflect the daily work. It does not reflect the daily attitude.
It does not reflect
the, the daily Behavior, which romelu shows here at Cobham,
but
you need to ask him, not me. I cannot help you further with
this because I was surprised.
But what's their Thomas to cool and a very warm welcome and
a very Happy New Year, to all of you watching wherever you are
across the United States. I'm Rebecca Lowe Robbie. My. So Tim
Howard here on our new home,
USA Network. Everything though is exactly the same. Tim. Let's
talk about to cool your reaction to the way. He has
reacted to a carcass quotes that came out Thursday and just
to let everyone know at home, you know, Lukaku. Well, you
played with them at Everton, your reaction.
Well, I think, Ink to go. Not surprised we handled. He
is usually pretty measured.
He mention their,
he didn't like it doesn't like the noise surrounding it. I think
I think Rama lose
comments, back them into a corner, a little bit.
You know, I would have anticipated them already
speaking because this is a this is a massive story. And when
you talk about in the dressing room, he's a likable guy, you
know, the players do like him, he gets on really well with
him. He's the big brother
to a lot of them. He's got
his peers in there. There's a lot of respect but also took
his manager. Hasn't done a lot wrong and handles is itself.
Well, so
you hope that this just gets brushed aside, but I will say
it's a story because
he's named tickle in terms of tactics.
The timing isn't great. He spoke about another team.
So this does this doesn't feel really well and has a
we know with a big game coming up. This could be a problem
today Zone. Where are you with us?
I agree with Thomas to called. The
context part is really important.
Italian is not his first Language. So I get that. So it kind of
gives them a slight out in my head.
But my first reaction was this is awful,
really bad. Like disappointing words from a guy that's gone
back to the club. They wanted to go back to huge fee. Huge
salary. He is the manager, Chelsea and the fans wanted him
back there. And he's going to be the man is going to be
the main thing that the play
is going to revolve around romelu Lukaku. So, you know,
we're kind of time when this back to a period where I was
fit again, he wasn't in the side, maybe the other players
were playing and he's saying to go went with was gone. Think
different, but there's just enough things in there,
you know, wanting to return to inter,
you know, you know, I won't I can't give up. Hey one like
you're such an important player now. And I think the key thing
now is all eyes are going to be on him. He's put pressure on
himself, Rebecca saying these things where is totally
unnecessary and that may be the funniest bit. All is where he
says,
I'm a professional says it twice. I'm a professional.
I get on the things, you know, that's not professional what.
He's just done. Disappointed with regards the context thing,
you think? If it was out of Tex he would come out on a social
media channels, which
players can do now and say everything's wrong. But he's
deleted Twitter. He's on Instagram and yet so far
nothing. So tomorrow, big game. As you mentioned against
Liverpool, does he playing?
I think he has to play in it, you know, we scored two goals
in two games. He's the one that's going to get goals for
this, this Chelsea team. I can't possibly
if Chelsea lose this time.
They mean the title is going to be really, really difficult to
claw back. I mean, this is a must win for them. I can only
see him playing him and hopefully getting a basic both
being professional about it. Mmm. Yeah, I think he's got to
play again. All
All Eyes On One with a Kaku who's going to play with him.
The other thing I'd say is
if it doesn't play well,
or if there's a period of time of the next few weeks, Rebecca
where he's not scoring, is he sulking? But the fans can
remember what he said and
what's the relationship with the manager and his teammates?
So, just a unnecessary situation, but I think I'm
like, yeah, that is exactly the noise that Thomas to school
is talking about.
