Former Italy coach Fabio Capello says Chelsea’s style of play doesn’t suit Romelu Lukaku.
Capello compared Lukaku’s time with Inter Milan to now with Chelsea ahead of last night’s Champions League win against Lille.
He said, “Lukaku fit perfectly into Conte’s counter-attacking style at Inter, because there were lots of spaces, he had this physical strength and pace that allowed him to flatten the defenders in Serie A.
“However, Chelsea play this very different type of football with lots of short passes and Lukaku doesn’t have the same spaces to move in. He also finds that in England the defenders have a similar physicality to him and hold out more.
“Lukaku had this power and space to run at defenders and turn the game around.”
