New Roma sensation, Romelu Lukaku, has attributed his outstanding start at the club to his close bond with manager Jose Mourinho. The 30-year-old striker recently scored two goals in Roma’s impressive 4-1 victory over top-seeded Cagliari, extending their three-game winning streak and easing the pressure on Mourinho.
Lukaku, who joined Roma from Chelsea during the summer transfer window, has been in remarkable form since his arrival. The Belgian striker, who marked his debut with a goal in the seven-goal rout against Empoli, has netted six goals in seven appearances for the Rome-based club.
Having previously worked with Mourinho at Manchester United, Lukaku is once again showcasing his talent under the guidance of the Portuguese coach. Lukaku emphasized the trust and belief Mourinho has in him, stating, “Mourinho is someone I can trust, and he believes in me. His tough character is instrumental in improving my skills.”
The strong relationship between Lukaku and Mourinho appears to be a key factor behind the player’s exceptional performances in the Serie A.
Here is the highlight video of Cagliari vs. AS Roma, which ended a 1-4 victory for Roma.
