El Profesor Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Best decision of Lukaku´s career was moving to Inter to play under Conte. He´s grown a lot as a player under a coach that truly values him. It´s a shame that he didn´t join Conte before, at Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno how he keeps falling upwards in his career In fairness, considering the standards of international football coaching Martínez is at least average. I´m by no means a Belgium football expert, but it seems that their problem is that it seems that the new generation of players is not as good, so they don´t have much depth and the defence is a bit old.

That's probably true, but I think usually when you've got an international side that's this good on paper... you usually see them managed by a better manager than someone like Roberto Martinez. The obvious exception to this rule would probably be the England national team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Profesor Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 3 minutes ago, shut up said: It's more that the pace of international football and serie A suits him much more than the premier league. But Conte also made Lukaku do extra sessions to improve his build up play and made him change his diet. He´s a better player now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You compare it to the defence of other 'favourites' its pure trash. The defence is on par with Sweden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they win in their last game against Russia(which is very possible), then they could still advance, couldn't they? I am not sure how the standings work in the group if teams are level on points. What is the 1st thing they look at, is it goal difference or is it the head to heads encounters between the teams in question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
