I swear the way Lukaku talk youd think his a board member at chelsea rather than a player.. Wish him all the best
How low is your bar lmao
@@jamesduffy7549 how high is your bar of the board members? They’re normal, high performing people just like Lukaku is
@@guye94 I wouldn't be salivating over them talking like a normal human being either
@@jamesduffy7549 Jesus mates what’s your problem, the original commenter is talking about how well spoken Rom is. Very mature and speaks intelligently
Hahaha. Sick
He's become wiser with age. Proud of him
He looks much more like an athlete now too. Good for him, I just hope he doesn’t do too well for Chelsea as a United fan
@@KOBE42__ as a Chelsea Fan. This is so funny. Lol!
Says who !
@@KOBE42__ he is already a total package
Isn’t that just..the way of life?
Lukaku is so well spoken. He has killer mentality and leadership traits.
And he can do it in 5 languages at least
What does “well spoken” mean? How else was he supposed to sound?
Lmao leadership my ass. 😂
@@rogermoore3991 why
These kinda comments make me laugh, it's surprising to people.
Really refreshing to hear Romelu speaking so openly about the importance of mental well-being on and off the football pitch. What a down to earth, personable guy.
😂😂😂😂
As a Spurs fan, this interview is terrifying. He seems ready to disassemble teams
As a Chelsea fan I’m not gonna lie I wanted Haaland initially but just from the body language and the things I’ve seen him do at Inter has me changing my mind
@@oluwadamilolaayoade5312 I agree
Let's hope he plays better than the last time he was in the league. He needed 30 yards to control the ball.
@@r423sdex exactly, you get 30 yards and around 30 minutes in serie A. He'll probably go score 30 now I've said that
@@jamesduffy7549 imagine the scenes of Lukaku scores 30 league goals. Absolute madness
Conte is helping Chelsea even from from hundreds of miles away. My favorite manager ever💙
Best comment ever 💙
After Fergie Conte is my all time favourite manager 💯
@@muhammadalias2958 swear
Conte till date was the only coach sacked by Chelsea board, and I felt so bad about it.
Inter's staffs were amazing too
This is so heartwarming, Lukaku is what every Chelsea fan dream of as a kid, so happy to see my man finally come back HOME
He did it for money !
Defo for the money, when a player moves it's just business
@@MisterPete3 You don’t get it do you?
@@prosperomiponle7645 no I get it, but his move is definitely a business decision
@@MisterPete3 why do you think so?
Imagine if Conte had got Lukaku instead of Morata in his second season at Chelsea.
Absolutely he would have defended and won the league back to back
Even with FA Cup!!!
Don't get too excited Chelsea fans... Lukaku went down a tier (Serie A)! The level is vastly different to Premier League. It's a league where alot of premier league rejects have shined... doesn't mean much... look out for his first touch, it's still pretty poor.
Eg. Look at Zlatan he's 39 played a spell in MLS... and scored 15 goals in 19 games... his record in MLS was worse lol
But he didn’t
He almost did. Mino raiola ruined it with dirty trick. He sold him to United instead. Instead of pursued Chelsea interest to bring him back from Everton. That was why Rom separated from Mino raiola.
Articulate and intelligent. Spoken like a true leader. Wish him all the best.
😂😂😂
He sounds so so mature and wise. Experience is truly the best teacher
I really want him to do well in Chelsea. I'm not just saying that because I support Chelsea but this man has improved and proved so many of his critics wrong. He deserves all the success! Wish you the best, Big Rom! 💙
He’s gonna score like 10 against Arsenal tomorrow 😂😂 we should start praying for Ben white
I'll be honest, he should have come to Chelsea when Conte was here. He was Conte's perfect CF. He would have had finishing school much sooner.
To play second fiddle to Diego Costa? I think he wants to be the main man always.
@@thrilla72 the second season he meant, when costa left and didnt play
@@officerdank4644 Ah yeah and they had Morata, he turned him down in favour of Man Utd right?
@@thrilla72 I mean, probably it fell through due to Raiola wanting more money from Chelsea - and Morata back then was counted as Lukaku's equal. But, Romelu could have pushed through. He just didn't.
@@thrilla72 Like he said in the video it probably wouldnt have worked out, but now he feels mentally ready.
Lukaku in this state, with this mentality, could be absolutely UNSTOPPABLE! Not a Chelsea fan but I'm so excited to see him come back and rip it up!
“Football just stays football.”
He has become so grounded mentally, he knows what needs to be done. I’m glad we signed leader for a #9. Rom and Lewa were the more intelligent signings and we got Rom. 🙌🏾
🤣🤣🤣
"I wanna let my football do the talking" this aged well 😂
Sounds so at peace and confident he’s going to deliver ! Unreal how confident he sounds! And it’s not an ego, genuine confidence !
This was why Conte wanted him so bad at his second Season at Chelsea...Conte knew without Costa in the second Season he can win the league again with Lukaku but they gave him Morata instead!!!! Conte finally got him at inter....Look at how he transformed him!!!
You're very true💯
@@luthfiahadian this is a lesson Chelsea should learn how to Trust a coach who gave them Trophies on their 1st Season....I seee why they backing Tuchel now....I believe they have learned from their past mistakes
Basically, this man said he was scoring goals but not winning so the respect wasn't the same. I hope Harry Kane is taking notes?
💯💯
Yuppppppppppp
Why do you think Kane wants to move to city ? He knows.
Can't have people slating Kane for this and on the other hand slating him for trying to go to City
@@safe3220 he needs to go to city. He needs trophies
Being a Man Utd fan, I'm very happy for Rom as he has improved as a player since leaving utd.
He always tried to do his best at utd but didn't work out
He looks more of a Chelsea type of a striker and now he's actually become top striker and more like a monster
I hope he does well at Chelsea
There’s no such thing as a Chelsea type striker .He is fantastic striker that can play in most teams .He was poorly managed at Man Utd .
Most players improve when they leave man United.
United biased coaches killed him! Can’t believe we thought rashford was better than him lol
@@mash288 in recent years the only type of striker that have thrived at Chelsea have been Drogba and Costa... that is what type of striker Lukaku is and what type of striker a Chelsea striker would be.
@@mash288 People have short memories. He had quite a few awful games for Man Utd. He literally tripped over his own feet or missed sitters several times. Man Utd needed a striker that is also good in the build-up play and Lukaku wasn't it.
You can tell how matured he is now can't wait to see him play tomorrow
Well this aged well
There's a lot of talk about Kane and Lewandowski all the time but at this point this man is underrated.
-scores a lot of goals now
-improved his first touch
-his hold up play is amazing
-lethal finishing
-amazing and fast on the counter despite his size
-he's much faster and fitter than he was at United
-a proper target man
-fits the 3 4 3 formation perfectly
-an amazing and humble human being 💙
His first touch 🤣😂
Oh but but that one bad touch in 2018 vs stoke on the last game of the season
@@Pri405 he ain’t lying Conte told him improve that first touch and your fitness or enjoy the bench until you leave😂
Lewandowski and Harry Kane are multi golden boot winning strikers. They talk about them for a reason...
He just isn't Lewandowski level. If you watch football you would simply know that. Lewandowski is brilliant technically and has better numbers than everybody
Incredibly well spoken. A football statesman.
Conte has chiseled him into a perfect striker for chelsea, as history speaks chelsea do well with strong and target man (drogba and costa), and lukaku can probably shield the ball from any defender in the world and now that he has become more clinical combined with his speed and strength, i think he is ready to light up the PL
@@seanfitzgerald8575 Agreed on what u said, he had a poor second season barring that psg game and i think he scored back to back braces also in the PL but that was about it, also its down to Ole he played him rw and could not get the best out of him. Conte has made him into a beast, he has lost lot of body mass and his overall game has improved, i also read somewhere that he had some digestion issue which was diagnosed in italy, so now he is mentally and physically fit. As regards to utd i think they will be fine, sancho and varane have plugged almost all holes except ik the fans want a solid cdm, but honestly speaking with varane’s defensive prowess they may survive. Mctominay and pogba should play as the midfield imo once rashford is back
@@seanfitzgerald8575 they aren’t linked to any cdms right? Only 10 days left idk i think utd’s trf window is shut
Huge pressure on him now, no doubt he has the mentality to handle it but there’s no room to flop now back at Chelsea considering the fee and the squad around him.
Literally
I disagree, Considering Chelsea's top goal scorer was jorginho with 7 goals in the league, the bar is low and I believe that even if Lukaku has a terrible season, he will score more than 7 league goals
@@BillyTheBoz oh that’s a def no way he doesn’t get more than 7 goals
He hasn't scored less than 15 goals in a season, so it means he will definetely score more than 15 goals. Plus now he is more mature and prolific.
@@eveningdoubt5981 and also has a very creative team behind him and I'm sure werner will play a big part in his success
As a Chelsea fan hearing this is music to my ears. The facts he’s a fan too makes it that much more special
Oh Yes! *Sits back in chair with coffee*
Yan's here😉
Yan you stay on your game 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I hope you're alright Yan, I really do hope that!
Oh yeah
The mainstream channels need to get more of younger football presenter youtubers doing interviews instead of middle aged white guys, because the players don't relate to them , so don't open up to them, so the interviews are very stale and boring. When you see Lukaku's interview with Ian Wright, Lukaku is calling Ian, Uncle, warmer and open and giving more insight because he relates to Ian Wright. The same when Ferdinand interviews players and coaches. RUclipsrs, Chubbs, Vuj, Poet and Harry Pinero get far more interesting interviews with players than Geoff Shreeves who only gets media trained answers because the players don't relate to old middle aged guy. The mainstream media hate the social media football channels like AFTV because it is making them look stale and boring.
I love how he played with Alex, he goes under the radar sometimes but he was a quality player
Whoever is responsible for this change in Luka deserves all the accolades. There's an air of fierceness in him, a level of maturity that eluded him in the past. The Lukaku I've wanted to see for so many years has finally arrived. Physically, mentally, emotionally you can tell the changes that have been made. He's not just here to play ball and make money, this is a man who has something to prove. He didn't come to play, he came to WORK and cement his legacy!
Serious 🙌🏿
He was always like this from day one
Some fans are easily led.
He’s so mature now
he was always mature?
@@stefanouzoewulu6903 he weren’t like this
@@judedavid6552 yes he was a baby earlier.....
@@Pri405 wrong
@@Pri405 I mean 20 to 28 is a big maturing process
who's here after he said he was not happy with tuchel and wanted to to go back inter...
from korea here
You can see how much Lukaku has learnt just listening to him speaks with maturity and confidence hes gonna have a good season up the chels
He looks hungry and determined to do well
Tammy will follow in Lukaku's footsteps going to Italy and will one day replace Lukaku in Chelsea
Utd fan , Rom never let us down & i was sad that he left us. A credit to his profession & an honourable man . Wish him all the best
This Lukaku is scary he’s looking lean and mean and his mindset is of a winner. He did United dirty even though his goal ratio was very good. Looking forward to seeing him in the premier league again.
He still had more clear cut chances/one on one opportunities then Harry Kane in his time at United but failed to be clinical. Harry Kane also was injured so he played less games then lukaku too. Chelsea will decide if he is a world class striker or not
United made him the scapegoat. Granted, he went 2 months or so without a goal but the United squad in general was not good enough
@@raphaelmapp8407 but they are not good enough
@@kay-arr2504 hes not the same striker as he was at Man Utd hes a complete striker now
@@andrew2450 because he played in the Italians farmers league he’s a complete striker?
Love how this was more like a conversation rather than an interview
This lukaku looks to be perfect for Werner because timo can just run and pass to lukaku and a chance has been created
Seeing these comments written 4 months ago makes me chortle.
WHAT A BEAST. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIM START SCORING GOALS.
I love his honestly and I wish more people would be like him. Welcome home Lukuku.
Lukaku is honestly such a loveable person yes we all wanted haaland but now I don't even care about him anymore lukaku man What a man Hopefully he can start performing from day 1 I'm glad we have him if they asked me if you had 1 chance to replace lukaku with anyone you want I would not replace him with anyone
As an Everton fan. I wish him the best of luck. Was amazing when he played for us.
We desperately need that version of him
He was incredible for United too and we misused him terribly. That first season I was absolutely blown away with the way he can run at a defence. I'm going to enjoy watching him play this season, just please don't let him score against United
Big respect to Chelsea from an Arsenal fan proper football club 👏
You saying that like you know you gonna lose tomorrow
How are they a proper football club. They have just been doped with money, that they don't generate.
@@r423sdex they are one of the best ran clubs
@AAA they do also generate huge income from selling players. They are one of the clubs who have always been able to sell players for decent fees
@@r423sdex Do your research....
Thank you Romelu, you helped me a lot within then first Four minutes of this interview. You are the champ (an Everton fan).
This seasons top scorer
I agree
He couldn't in Italy.
Na. I think he'll do well but don't think he'll be stop scorer. My money on Salah
@@abdiazizsaed4039 he was mate
@@bigtom-qf5jb No he wasn't. Ronaldo was the top goalscorer last season. He's never won a league golden boot in his career. Never ever.
This guy is so ready🔥
To leave
So calm welcome back big man
This guy is ready to help the team and more hungry to win trophies 🏆
Big Rom what a man so humble underrated and under appreciated
He’s sooo chill
In fifa 22 I am looking forward for his celebration, u can’t stop the shine
Here after he just scored, top goal scorer this season for sure🙌🏻
Lukaku is different breed!! Love this guy 💙
We’re truly happy to have you back at the club as a player as a fan, and I’m really hoping that you take this club to the next level as well as your game.
That's the difference between him and Kane. Man said forget scoring the goals let me win something so I can feel fulfilled 💯💯💯💯
love him... welcome back Romelu.. all the best... God loves youu
How refreshing...Now this is a real serious professional with talent to back it up. For the neutral this should be an interesting season to watch how well these new players from other leagues do.
What a guy wish him the best
Love the work he's put in..to improve and mature
He's and intelligent, humble and handsome person.
Not a Chelsea fan but good luck to him.
I like his mentality so much. Top top guy!
He’s a great signing for Chelsea, as a United fan I always rated him. Yes people can question his first touch but very few strikers are flawless and Rom has scored goals wherever he’s been. He’ll do very well at Chelsea and could be the reason they will the league this season.
My only hope is that it opens up things a bit more for United to get Haaland next summer. Particularly if City get Kane.
Exciting season ahead with 4 teams who can legitimately win the league!
Are you serious? If Haaland leaves Dortmund it will be to a better club, not united. And there is not 4 clubs who has a chance. City is still dominating the leauge.
He seems at peace with himself that's wonderful
Such an entertaining interview. Welcome home Rom.
Love how he’s talking 💙💙💙💙💙😍🤍 I’m just so excited about him in general, Haaland was our first dream signing to be honest, but my god he’s making me exited and hopefully we can achieve so much with him in our team
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 We already got a fire team , just add a bit of Sparkle ✨ into that fire and let’s explode
Everton fan here , wish we could have him back , lol guy is a proper centre forward, and its good to see him back at chelsea , where he allways wanted to be, he going to be a nightmare for defenders , the guy is so strong ,
I feel like Chelsea recently not only going for top players but also for top personalities
I agree 100 percent
Lukaku & Havertz up front with Mason Mount as the 10… I can’t wait to see that 😍😍😍
Don’t forget turbo timo
well they are doing well right now vs Arsenal looool.
This video shows how much this means to him! This has truly gassed me up for the match tonight at the Emirates 💙💙
He improved more because of Conte than Italy. Just like Zlatan was introduced to finishing school by Cappello. But Raiola wanted more transfer moves for both
As a United fan I miss rom so much, happy to see him so in form and in best shape of his career. Best of luck!
I don't know how many times Lukaku has to tell journalist that he is ready.. Ready to score goals nd help his team spoken like a true professional
haha this guy is soooo confident !!! HE WILL SCORE GOALS
He looks really fit. Quite down to earth and humble too. He is going to be perfect for chelsea.
Whose here after his interview abt inter,tuchel👀☠️
his voice is everything.
What an inspiring bloke. Very likeable.
The kings home. 10 years a mental shift and a lot more experience. We love you big Rom 💙
People ALWAYS hatin' on Rom and season after season he proves them ALL wrong. TOP PLAYER. WORLD CLASS.
I don’t remember anyone ever hating on Lukaku part from when he was at United…but that’s because he let himself go fitness wise and so it was deserved. He corrected that at Inter in his diet and training - his words. Now he’s back to his best, the version United should of got.
@@Allegro_Giusto his peak is right now
@@Allegro_Giusto Right. People have short memories, now they are claiming he was great at United and it was just the United team that was bad around him. But he contributed to that as much as anybody. He became overweight, his touch and build-up play was poor and in quite a few games you could just see him moaning on the pitch instead of working. I'm glad he has improved himself and his mindset but let's not white-wash his time at United.
I’ve never been so focused on following world football as now. I think it s the past year we all experienced. Not taking things for granted.
Must enjoy each and every day. Nothing is promised.
This guy quite clearly had changed. What an interview!
Can't wait for him to get started. I've not been excited at a signing in a long while
i love how Lukaku speaks and carries himself. Modest and grounded but confident and self-aware
Smart boy! good to see
His mentality is ginormous 🔵🔵🔵💙💙💙
I can't believe we got this man 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 its mental
Iam so happy that he’s back we never had a good striker after Diego Costa left.
Chelsea going to be a serious problem if they get their chemistry right. Lukaku is the type of striker Chelsea thrive with; a lone striker that uses his strength to bully defenders and has a great finish, like Drogba and Costa
He wasn't ready back then. But he is ready now. Salute. 🙂✌
Class. His strike partnership with Lautaro isn't talked about enough, it truly elevated both their games. I really hope he can find that chemistry with the forwards in Chelsea, he could become unstoppable.
Seeing haters cry in the comments is so heartwarming 😂😂 coming for his past mistakes won’t stop him from scoring against your clubs
Lol
This guy is the proud of our Belgian football. Thanks Rom, I wish you all the best !
a fellow countryman.
Guys so coldd 💯
We are so blessed to have this player.
This sounds like a man that knows what he's about. No self doubt, just realization of what is and what isn't
He's so well spoken, confident yet humble.. great ambassador for Chelsea and Belgium.
As a United fan I was sad it didn't work out for him. Great lad, grafter, and wish him every success
The way he remembers the moments when he came to Chelsea earlier is so DETAILED. He feels like he has to repay Chelsea and he's fully ready to compete. Welcome back, Big Rom
