He's a top player. He's a 1 in 2 striker. Doesn't get much better than that. And he's actually consistent with his scoring
I don’t think he’s cursed as much as he is immature. He blurts whatever pops in his head. Contradicts himself. Gives off the impression that he’s unstable and disloyal. Could’ve avoided all the hate if he had proper people in his corner telling him to shut up lol
13:07 If the contract included Megan the Stallion, Lukaku would be contender for the ballon d’or next season
I would love seeing him for one season at Real Madrid. Even as a Barca Fan, that guy deserves a great team around him.
You know which player would make a great video? Adriano emperor, the 99 power shot from pro evolution soccer
Excellent and witty narrator!
As a Belgian, he confuses me as well. Why does he do the things he does. The people who blamed him for the World Cup just didn't watch our matches, our lineups. It definitely was the Belgian federation of football and Martinez's awful choices.
He could have come back to Chelsea and try to work with Pochettino, but he burned the bridge way too early with them. If he's really going to Saudi Arabia, he can stay out of the NT and enjoy his semi-retirement.
For me, WBA Lukaku was the best Lukaku.
Yes the game is played with 11 players, but having romelu on the pitch is like a team having a red card the entire 90 minutes. I like lukaku he doesn't deserve to e majority of the hate he gets, but when you have 11 players on the pitch and the one guy in charge of scoring goals just misses the easiest chances it's really hard to win a game.
LAKAKA
Common Neymar’s accumulated fee is way more than that. He cost Barca 87M euros and the moved to PSG for 222M euros. Take note
Awesome content as always Tinashe.
lukaku reminds me of anelka a bit all time talents that people will look back on and say they could have achieved way more in their career if it wasn't for poor attitude
Great vid bro as usual ✌🏾
he has not touch
jajajajaja
his touch hasn't really improve though , how can that be possible
This is THE definition of 4d chess
"Cristiano incredible in class just in "short" spats"
Loooolll
The guy has been on top for 15 years.
Is he the premier's version of Higuan?
2:13 LMFAO
You're Zim aren't you bro?
Bruh, I think Lukaku might go down as the biggest con artist in football history.
No matter the year, no matter the club he’s at, no matter the club he’s linked with…there is always high expectations around his performance/impact as a player, and he always seems to disappoint.
We also seem to take whatever he says to heart despite him contradicting himself over and over again.
Why does this keep happening? Why is it we always get surprised when he stinks up a knockout game or a big final? Why is it that we always seem to forget this fact when the next big game or the following season comes around, and go back to thinking Lukaku will be THE player for whatever (new) team?
We’ve been duped! That’s why! Hoodwinked! Bamboozled! Led a stray!
I think it’s about time we stopped being shocked whenever Lacaca has a stinker and just accept that that’s his level. He was never that good, still isn’t that good, and will never be as good as his team and transfer fee history suggests.
Love the videos bro. Keep making them
🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦You're great at what you do bruh
He's not cursed, he's just an asshole.
It's either he lacks self-awareness or borderline dumb considering he gone cold turkey to Inter or try to tap Juventus to buy him which shows who he is.
Cursed? Simply not that good. Put him against teams a level below him and he’s excellent. Put him against teams near the quality of his own and he vanishes.
Burning bridge with the club and fans that genuinely support him and want him is baffling for me
