RB Leipzig manager, Julian Nagelsmann has come out to compare new signing, Brian Brobbey to Romelu Lukaku. He recently revealed that both players are very similar when it comes to their physique.
According to him, however, he knows how tough it is for a player when he is compared to someone else in the football world, so he doesn’t want to put too much pressure on the youngster.
Nagglesman added that he would love Brian to light up the Bundesliga when he joins, but he must be given time to settle.
His words, “It is always very tough for a player when you compare him to others as people start to grow expectations that are not good for a player at that age,”
“In regards to his physique and the way he plays, he is similar to Romelu Lukaku. And we would be happy if he can manage to become a player with the same qualities. But to paint a picture for the fans, you can definitely say that he is similar to Lukaku. But it is a great wish of ours that he can develop himself in a similar way and that he will be able to become as important for European football [as Lukaku].”
“If that will be the case, then our scouting department has made a great decision. We will cross our fingers for that to happen. But please don’t start saying that he will play just like Lukaku, because this won’t be the case.”
