Ex-Inter Milan striker, Edin Dzeko has come out to say that the club chose to sign Romelu Lukaku permanently over retaining his services. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, it was shocking to him that the coach and executives agreed to such a strange decision because he was an important player who started all the key games at the time.
Dzeko added that he was treated very well at Inter, so he respected the decision eventually.
His words, “If they chose this way, it means that everyone agreed, coach and executives. To me, it looked like a strange decision, because you could keep a player who started all the important games, including the Champions League final, at no cost and have four strikers in your squad. It looked very strange to me, that’s all. Then, I understood it with time and respected it, also because everyone treated me very well at Inter.
Everyone can talk… But I say: do you think that a coach can choose to field a player who is not as good as the one he keeps on the bench? And doing it in a Champions League final? I remained calm, I knew what I could give to the team. For sure Lukaku was not happy not to start, it’s normal. But then you come on and make a difference, if you can: he had 30 minutes [in the Champions League final], he came with the scoreline still being 0-0, and then.”
WOW.
