Forward Romelu Lukaku has received special praise from Belgium’s coach Domenico Tedesco ahead of the EURO 2024 finals.

Romelu Lukaku is displaying an impressive form on the eve of EURO 2024. The 31-year-old striker recently contributed two goals in Belgium‘s 3-0 victory over Luxembourg. Commenting on Lukaku’s performance, coach Domenico Tedesco had many commendable words for his player. The strategist stated:

“Lukaku plays an extremely important role both on and off the field. On the field, his goals speak volumes, but he can do much more.”

“Lukaku knows exactly when to pass and when to maneuver to execute a shot. He always knows how to create danger in many situations, not just in set pieces. In the final third, Lukaku is unpredictable and makes it difficult for defenders to anticipate. I don’t think many defenders want to face Lukaku at this moment.”

“Lukaku’s influence off the field is also undeniable. He is familiar with many players, especially the young ones. He has been close and advised many young players. Moreover, Lukaku cares about many other things and plays an important role in the dressing room.”

Under coach Domenico Tedesco, Lukaku is showing a completely different side. In his last 11 appearances, the 31-year-old star has scored 17 goals, an extremely impressive form. Alongside Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku is considered the hope of the Belgian national team at the EURO 2024 finals. Despite not being highly rated like in previous tournaments, with the young talents in the squad, the “Red Devils” remain an enigma in this competition.

At EURO 2024, Belgium is in Group E alongside Slovakia, Romania, and Ukraine. Lukaku and his teammates will kick off their campaign against Slovakia at 23:00 on June 17, followed by matches against Romania (June 23) and Ukraine (June 26).
