Former Chelsea striker, Romelu Lukaku, has suggested that he
struggled during his time at the club last season because he wanted to take
‘revenge’ on the west London club.
Lukaku stated this while opening up on his below-par debut
campaign at his parent club Chelsea last season, claiming it was a difficult
one for him.
The Belgium international, who returned to Chelsea on a
club-record deal worth £97.5 million, is now back at Inter Milan on a one-year
loan deal.
The former Manchester United star scored 64 goals during his
two-season stint with Inter, winning the 2020-2021 Serie A title.
Speaking to DAZN (via Football Italia), Lukaku shed light on
what went wrong after his move to Chelsea last summer.
The 29-year-old said, “I think before, when I left [Chelsea],
I wanted to take revenge at Chelsea because when I was young, it was my team
for eleven years. I had the opportunity to go back there and thought I would be
a hero, but that was not the case. In March, when I heard there was an
opportunity to come back here [Inter], I slowly didn’t say anything, but
towards the end of the season, we did a very good job with the club. and I was
able to come back here.”
Lukaku added: “I make reflections only at the end of the
season. I saw that as a player with Inter, I did well; the season at Chelsea
for me was difficult. I had no doubts; that is why I made the decision to come
back here.”
