Inter striker Romelu Lukaku talked about a difficult year at Chelsea and his return to Milan.
"The season at Chelsea gave me extra motivation to get better. I think that in a year everyone has forgotten what I am capable of doing on the field. It's a kind of anger that sits inside. Inter are in a similar situation - they did not win the championship last season. Together we hope to get better and bring the trophy home. I'm not thinking about the scoring race, our goal is the Scudetto. We at Inter play for the championship, not for individual awards.
When I first left Chelsea, I wanted to get revenge at Stamford Bridge because I had spent 11 years with the team. I got a chance to come back and dreamed of becoming a hero, but things turned out differently.
I had two psychologically difficult years at Manchester United. Then I moved to Inter and became myself. I had some physical problems, but they were the result of a bad psychological state. I have to thank Conte, he made me a mentally strong player. He taught never to give up and to show his best. These tips will stay with me for the rest of my life," DAZN quoted the Belgian forward as saying.
We will remind that in the summer of 2021, "Chelsea" bought Lukaku's contract from "Inter" for 115 million euros. After an unsuccessful season in West London, Romelu returned to the Nerazzurri on loan for €8 million.
