Romelu Lukaku, Napoli center forwardhe told himself in a long interview (read here the complete) to the official channels of the Campania club, returning to the moment of his debut with a goal in the championship match against Parma: “I was overwhelmed, everything was so incredible. I felt a different atmosphere with a really positive energy. Yes , I scored, but we won, which is the most important thing. As a player now I take things day by day, I try to give a little more every day and see where it takes me by the end of the season , this is my mentality. I try to give more than yesterday every time.”
How did he arrive at Napoli?
“When the news of the contact came out… I am a person who watches Instagram a lot and there were many messages from Napoli fans. Then I spoke with Mertens, who I have known since I was 17. I already had a trusted friend who it prepared me for life here. You can see that you represent an entire city and its people. It’s fantastic to experience here, they are all true Neapolitans who love the club. It makes you feel good but there is also a great responsibility to give your best.”
Have you learned any Neapolitan words or sayings?
“No, but when I go to the physiotherapist in the morning I try to understand what the kids are saying but it’s hard, little by little I’ll get there. Give me a couple of months then I hope to have a chat with someone when I go to the supermarket, who knows!”.
