Roma striker, Romelu Lukaku has been accused of lacking respect and hiding from phone calls by Inter Milan’s sporting director, Piero Ausilio. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, even if he does not like speaking about players at another club, he needs Lukaku to learn to be respectful and polite as a professional footballer.
Piero added that the Belgian is mainly in Inter Milan’s past now, and everyone has moved on from the recent controversy.
His words, “I prefer not to talk about a player currently at another club, I have never done that in recent months. I say that I like to think about the present and the future, Lukaku is part of the past: with him we won a Scudetto, lost two finals and he brought us an important capital gain. What happened? I prefer not to talk about it.
All I’m saying is that there has to be politeness and respect: things were obviously going on, but at a certain point these conditions came to an end. There are deals that do not get done, but if there is respect it is never a problem. When, on the other hand, one hides or sends replies via other people, then one thinks about moving on. For me it is a closed chapter since July 8, there are no regrets. The famous phone call to Lukaku? It was something decided, nothing special. I told Romelu what I thought, after I hadn’t been able to contact him for a while.”
