Roma manager, Jose Mourinho has come out to insist that Romelu Lukaku will play against Inter Milan. This is coming despite the controversy over his summer exit from San Siro, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, Lukaku is a very important player for Roma, and since the club is already without key players like Dybala and Pellegrini for the game, Lukaku will definitely start.
Mourinho added that players have moved from one rival to the other in the past and heaven did not fall.
His words, “Lukaku will play. It’s a very difficult, important match, he is important for us, especially without [Paulo] Dybala and [Lorenzo] Pellegrini. Lukaku must play. I didn’t know he was so important in Milan, because what he did, winning the Scudetto, two cups, 200 players in Inter have won a super cup.
Afterwards it is interesting to understand why if Lukaku goes from Inter to Roma to help his coach it is a drama, while in the past [Fabio] Cannavaro went from Inter to Juve without problems. [Christian] Vieri no problem, Romelu at Roma is a surprise because I didn’t think he would be in the hearts of the Inter fans.”
WOW.
José Mário dos Santos Mourinho Félix GOIH is a Portuguese professional football manager and former player who is the current head coach of Italian Serie A club Roma. Dubbed “The Special One” by the British media, Mourinho is one of the most decorated managers ever and is widely considered to be among the greatest managers of all time.
Mourinho was born in 1963 to a large middle-class family in Setúbal (a suburb of the Lisbon metropolitan area), Portugal, the son of José Manuel Mourinho Félix, who was known by the name Félix Mourinho, and his wife, Maria Júlia Carrajola dos Santos. His father played football professionally for Belenenses and Vitória de Setúbal, earning one cap for Portugal in the course of his career.
His mother was a primary school teacher from an affluent background; her uncle funded the construction of the Vitória de Setúbal football stadium. The Carnation Revolution leading to the fall of António de Oliveira Salazar’s Estado Novo regime in April 1974 also led to the family losing all but a single property in nearby Palmela.
Mourinho has also been a part of social initiatives and charity work, helping with a youth project, bringing Israeli and Palestinian children together through football and donating his lucky jacket to Tsunami Relief, earning £22,000 for the charity. Since his appointment in 2014, he acts as a Global Ambassador of the United Nations’ World Food Programme.
