A biography for Romelu Lukakuhasn’t been written yet.
“At Manchester United, we play to win. That's my first mentality when I get onto the pitch. Then everything else comes with it.”
“In football, anything can happen. You can have an injury, and then you won't play at the highest level anymore. If you don't have a diploma, what then?”
“I can do a lot of stuff, score goals with my left, right, and head.”
“I don't dive. I'm not a player who dives.”
“It's about winning games and scoring as many goals as possible.”
“I always said to my friends that I would play for Chelsea one day.”
“People used to talk to me about that and say, 'Rom doesn't play with passion.' I do, but I don't show it too much because in my mind, I'm a guy that thinks a lot about how to win the game. Sometimes I let the emotions just come now, and it helps me.”
“If you want to be one of the best, you have to look at the best.”
“I don't like to look at what other players are doing.”
“I want to prove to other people that I have something in my mind and intellectual qualities, not just the ability to play football.”
“At the end of the day, I just want to work hard for the team, and if I improve, I'm really satisfied.”
“I have always been scoring goals, and now the quality of goals I am scoring is better.”
“I would rather have a career where I improve year after year than go to the top and then decline. There are a lot of strikers that reached the top before 25, but after 25, they went down.”
“I think I've proven that I've improved every part of my game.”
“You have to be ambitious in life.”
“I looked up to Cristiano Ronaldo, and then it was always Didier Drogba.”
“My physique? It is a gift from God.”
“Sometimes footballers, we get soft a little bit.”
“He was the main guy at Manchester United, and he's a guy I really look up to and who I learn from a lot because we share the same agent. Here and there, he sends a bit of advice to me, and it helps me improve. But I'm Romelu Lukaku - I'm not Zlatan Ibrahimovic.”
“Ever since I was six or seven, I wanted to be a professional footballer.”
