Unusual experience for Romelu Lukaku. Roma coach Daniele De Rossi treated the striker to a rare substitution during half-time. “I didn’t think he was good together with Azmoun,” his coach said. “And he was a little tired too.”
Romelu Lukaku seems tireless this season.
Under José Mourinho, the Red Devil carried the burden of the Rome attack on his shoulders for 90 minutes and the striker also rarely misses a minute under Daniele De Rossi.
See you on Sunday evening in the away game against Frosinone. After an unfortunate first half, Lukaku actually stayed in the dressing room. Such an early change is – without injuries – an unusual experience in the career of the record shooter.
De Rossi came up with an explanation afterwards: “Why did I change Romelu? I didn’t think he was good together with Azmoun (the Iranian striker who formed a tandem with Lukaku, ed.). He was also a bit tired and that’s why I took him off the team. field. I need fresh players.”
“This is not a failure for Romelu, hey. I am the coach and I keep the best players on the pitch. It was difficult for him. But after 45 minutes I could actually have substituted everyone. If that happens, it is the fault of the coach and not the players.”
Roma won comfortably against Frosinone. The Dutch revelation Huijsen opened the score with a beautiful goal, after which Azmoun and Paredes scored.
The victory puts Roma firmly in 6th place.
