What you and everyone fails to mention during the game against Croatia in the 22 WC is that belgium played utter shite the whole turnament, he singlehandedly turned Belgium into a good mood again, yes he did fail many occasions which did break our hearts, but he came in, still not fully recovered from his injury trying to help his country and turned us into a better side, so i would not even blame him, there are plenty of other players to blame it on, but not lukaku.
That is true to some extent. Lukaku was the scapegoat for a generation of talent that was on its last legs. But you cannot deny that his individual performance in that match against was a complete catastrophe. After this match all anyone could talk about was the failures of Lukaku alone. So yes, unfair, but it was the reality!
@@DMac__ I'm Belgian and most of my friends who watched that game agreed that Lukaku played a decent game. You see, before he came on, we literally created nothing. Lukaku was ALWAYS in the exact right spot at the exact right time, which led to him getting a lot of clear cut chances. He didn't convert them but without him we wouldn't have had a single decent chance the entire game
Hes not just Belgium's all time top scorer- hes number 7 on the list of all time international scorers, just above Lewandoski and Neymar. Hes only 6 goals away from being top 5 of all time. Its truly impossible to say in a single sentence how good or bad his career has been, whatever position you take theres about 50 points you could make to argue against it.
Ehm no ... Only the goal against Porto in the round of 16, otherwise he made no contribution with reaching the final. A penalty scored with Benfica i truly wouldn't count that as contribution. Inter had 2 HUGE chances to go 1 nil up before Lukaku came in that final. One Barella shot wide when the keeper wasn't in the area and Two Lautaro one on one against the keeper couldn't convert
Lukaku is by far the most mentally strong player ever. He has had so much misfortunate in his career, and yet he always returns. He never gives up. He even becomes a better player from the hate he recieves. That deserves nothing but respect.
chu mean, what is he supposed to do, stop playing football? ofc not. come back stronger? idk if come back stronger means failing again .. on and off the field. lukaku is so fkin dumb it hurts. hes not as good as ppl think he does, guy needs massive confidence to do well, if hes missing any his game is shit.
While I do agree he has strong mental, a lot of the criticism he receives is more than justified imo. Saying he only gets "hate" is a bit dishonest imo.
A player with a good mentality wouldn't have disrespected all of his former clubs. A player with a good mentality would have been loved by fans. He receives hate because of his actions.
Throughout his entire career, even in his earlier days at Everton, he's had issues with dissapearing in big games. I'm an Everton fan, and Lukaku had a tendency of destroying smaller teams and just fading out of bigger games. Off the ball he wasn't great. Thing is, he would still have been a great striker for these teams if he didn't do ridiculous things like intentionally antagonizing his old fanbases, kissing other teams badges, etc...
100% agree with this assessment. Certainly not the most aesthetically pleasing striker who had a habit of going missing in crucial games. I think the overwhelming criticism, however, stems from his antagonising behaviour on and off the pitch across various clubs throughout his career.
@@DMac__ Absolutely yeah. Your video was spot on and a great watch. Everton fans would still love him if it wasn't for all of his antagonising behavior and the way he treated the club. I'm sure Inter fans feel the same way.
@@ness-ee Good question. There are a few things he did- one of the main things is the way he treated the club after he left. He kissed the United badge and shushed our fans after scoring against us a few weeks after leaving. Every time he went on international duty, he would hold interviews talking about how Everton wasn't big enough for him, and he wanted to move. He hurt us financially by refusing to move to Chelsea because Chelsea weren't willing to match United's agent fees (which to be fair is more likely his agent) but this forced us to accept Uniteds bid. He stole a penalty from Baines and missed it, then refused to apologise to Baines, he stopped putting in any effort off the ball or pressing, and since leaving Everton he's made really negative comments about the club. Compare this to someone like Richarlison, or Rooney. If Lukaku behaved in a more respectful manner, he'd be loved by Inter and Everton fans I imagine.
Such a high quality video I've learnt alot about lukaku today thansk of u makes me feel a little bit sorry for him but still he made alot of mistakes but somehow I know there's a good striker in there . Anyways this video 10/10 keep it up finna subscribe
To be fair he brought some of the hate on himself by being disloyal to about every club he ever played for. After all he seems to be a very sensitive player who needs a good relationship with his coach/club/teammates to perform well. On the other hand his ambition (and maybe also greed?) made him commit to some questionable decisions. He prolly should've stayed at Inter the first time around...
@@octoxicbeballin as inter fan i agree, but he fails the big matches (at least for the inter period, for what I've seen). Not only CL and EL final, but he never scored against Juventus, the strongest opponent during those years. Actually he finalized 2 penalties, but no goal outside that. The most important goal he finalized at inter was that one against Porto last season. And I've never hold grudge against him before this summer: he left but he brought decent money, he came back and we forgave him. But the last summer betrayal with Inter struggling about money and still wanting to permanently sign him really turned everyone furious. Fans, society (who had intention to sign him, but at different terms) and players. Like the whole group except the news coinvinced the society to dismiss the offers, and preferred 2 old declining strikers (sanchez and arnautovic).
Who could say that the youngster we signed at 20 for a quarter of lukaku transfer fee would become a more loved player than Lukaku, and if he stays probably a legend for the club?
Nah bro we (inter) gave him many chances even when he had betrayed us to join Chelsea and after the final we tried buying him permanently but he tried to betray us with Juve😥🖤💙
Hey man, I'm not criticising Inter or any other club's criticism of Lukaku. I totally understand why Inter fans despise the man. What he did was disgraceful!
You forgot to mention how Diego Carlos assaulted him from behind when he was about to go one-on-one didn't receive a second yellow and the fact that he kicked the ball that deflected his leg and the fact that scored a goal against Liverpool in EFL cup final that was ruled offside but he was on site
To be fair to the man, he actually had a good game against city in the final. It wasn't his fault that Dimarco's header landed on him and he actually was the only one that seemed to try threatening the opposition.
I'm a Chelsea fan and yeah i don't have anything positive to say about him. He ruined it for himself. He was setup to be the next Drogba, supported by Drogba but just couldn't keep his mouth shut and vexed Chelsea fans with his comments.
S**** Lukaku, talking to Juve was a stab in the back that cannot be forgotten nor forgiven, door closed, go block your teammates from scoring somewhere else!
Not sure why foreigners keep on bringing up his missers vs croatia. You'll be hard pressed to find a belgian who holds that against him. We appreciate him always being in the right places even when he misses some shockers now and then. Most strikers are incapable of being in the right place on the right time. Lukaku is always there. and we appreciate what he has done for belgium. Well, most of us do. there are always some weirdos. He is the best ever belgium striker. And as far as leadership from a striker, only Ceulemans and Wilmots lifted us up similarly.
Did I ever suggest Belgians don't appreciate him? You know people outside of Belgium aka "foreigners" watched the game and formed their opinion on the performance? It is objectively true that he received extensive criticism for his displays with Belgium in the world cup last year.. I'm not hating on him for it...it's just what happened.
@@DMac__ Criticism by foreigners who already had a bias and who just wanted to give him another kick when he was down. Foreigners who did not have a stake in the game. And it matters cause you spoke about Lukaku burning bridges at man utd, chelsea, inter. Implying a rift at belgium as well. When the opposite is true. He has become belgium leader more than ever.
@@koopalibrary I never once implied he had "a rift at Belgium". I urge you to re-watch both my intro and later section of the video which covered the world cup. There is no bias with my coverage on Lukaku.
I ain't know at all about Romel until watching this video Dmac. Well done btw in pulling back the sheet and enlightening us...Lukaku needs a mentor and a well informed advisor to advise him on how to navigate on and off the pitch, so he can make better decisions moving forward in becoming a legend. Abba, teach Lukaku to cast his cares on you (I Peter 5:7) and to forgive himself and others who stood before him and teach him Godly character that will benefit him to staying on top and no longer wavering like a rollercoaster up and down. Help Lukaku to becoming stable longer while he remains in top condition before he wraps it all up, in Jesus name AMEN.
Idk I feel like you cant blame him for the World Cup. The whole team is just so immature and they all fight with each other in the locker room. I dont blame anyone for not performing on Belguim. They really need a coach that will get the respect and effort out of his players. Everything else? Yeah, spot on for me anyway lol.
I'm sorry but I have to say this clubs will never be loyal to you so why should you be loyal to clubs. Many of the people at those club turned on him and disrespected him and especially toxic clubs like Chelsea deserve everything bad that happens to them. Seriously misunderstood, underrated and disrespected player.
How many times did this happen already? Nice start but again wait and see , his goals will contributions will come down , he will shit again on another club. THATS LUKAKU
@@DMac__ It was more of the antics with the Belgian media every time he went away on international duty. That interview with Italian Sky TV while at Chelsea was standard behaviour while at Everton. Kevin Miralles was the same....maybe its a Belgian thing.
It might Sound a little rassict but it’s the truth…nowadays beeing black and young seems enough to be a pro. Lakaka is the best example. He has no skills and talent. He is just Black and had a lot of luck that he was bigger and stronger than the other guys in the youth league.
00:05 Who loves Lukaku??? The man who started his career with missing a penalty in European final as a teenager, and ended it in 2022 with wasting his team chances in another European final
At this point can anyone tell me what is this hype about Lukaku when there is Lautaro Martinez from the same league that is having the season of his life Lukaku isn't even in top 3 strikers in Serie A

As a Belgian I con conferm Lukaku is a legend for Belguim
He's currently scored 83 goals for them.
R.L. Is a unique talent who can beat you in any game. He doesn’t have to be “the goat” to be a power… and he IS a power. ✌️
A lot of people hyper focus on the negatives for him. He is not Ronaldo but he is a decent goalscorer

he does miss many chances but people dont really look at his goalscoring ability
Exactly. Loads of disastrous misses throughout his career but he's also banged in hundreds of goals in the process!
well that's because he's got insane instincts and physical prowess but he's somewhat lacking in technical skills
