Tuchel made it clear early on that he was not angry with Lukaku in his personal emotional stance. But the appearance of the incident and the timing of its occurrence displeased him. In his New Year's Eve press conference, Tuchel was blunt: "We didn't like the interview. It led to needless noise and didn't help." Still, the German coach defended the Little Devils, suggesting that the possibility of a mistranslation and misinterpretation exacerbating the festering incident could not be ruled out, "It's easy to take something out of context, just pinch it down and create headlines, and then later on you realize that it was not what you intended at all."
At the same time, Tuchel repeatedly used the word "surprise" to express his opinion on the incident.

No one in the team could have foreseen this happening, and Lukaku's correct training attitude has not released the slightest sign of discontent. According to sources, Lukaku's interview became a hot topic in the Blues' dressing room once it was released, but like the senior management and the manager, his teammates have never seen Lukaku reveal his grievances about his depressing and bitter life at Stamford Bridge. There is also the timing of the interview, some of the Blues players believe that Lukaku is looking for a transfer, otherwise why stuck in the winter window before the opening of these words?

The generals all have their own opinions on the Lukaku fiasco, but few support the Belgian's behavior. The source said he asked a player if anyone in the team was in favor of Lukaku and the answer was "no, no one could believe he would do that".
Therefore, excluding Lukaku from the pair of

The decision on the playing roster was not of Tuchel's personal will. According to Athletic.com, Tuchel had approached five or six senior players for consultation, including Jorginho, Aspilicueta, Kante, Rüdiger and others, before concluding to cool the youngster for the time being.
On the other hand, an investigation was immediately launched on the part of the club to determine the timing of Lukaku's interview and to lock down the temporal context of the comments in question. Because Lukaku did not report to the team about the exclusive interview, skipping the

With nine points, Tuchel is experiencing his first calamity at Stamford Bridge, and he would have expected a show of unity and solidarity from his team at this point, especially from his first-team squad members, in order to get over the hump as quickly as possible. But Lukaku's interview, whether misinterpreted or misinterpreted or not, undermines that.
"I'm not happy with the status quo, that's natural. The head coach decided to use a different formation and I can't let up. I have to work hard and remain professional at all times. I'm not happy with the status quo, but I'm greedy, so I can never let up. I think the coach can give me more chances, but I have to respect his decision. All I have to do is keep working hard and wait for my chance."
While England have focused most of their attention on Romelu Lukaku vs.

The interview was conducted in the middle of May, but the content of this part of the 30-minute interview only accounted for a very small space, but also far from the British media relayed that radical. In fact, Lukaku to accept the purpose of this interview is to repair the relationship with the Inter fans, explain their own motivation to leave the team, the date of the interview in mid-December, that is, three weeks ago, when Lukaku has just recovered from ankle injuries, most of the time according to the requirements of the Tuchel on the bench standby, eager for the opportunity of the mood is not incomprehensible.
But was he wronged? Not really. Lukaku has a long history of publicly whining about leaving the club.In 2017, Lukaku used his home country's television to make his decision not to renew Everton's contract known, and a few months earlier he used an anti-discrimination campaign interview to slam the Toffees for their lack of ambition, causing unhappiness with then-manager Ronald Koeman and the hierarchy.In 2019, he made a case for leaving the

After, Lukaku removed a brief social media dynamic to say goodbye, neither to almost sort of save his career Inter remembrance, nor to explain the details of his departure. And in the same month, Lukaku had also sworn to the blue and black fans promised - will never leave his international

After his departure, extremist fans in the North Stand hung a banner outside the Meazza: "The only thing sacred in today's soccer is the connection between the shirt and the fans. Players, owners and coaches are tools, they are never the essence of soccer, we are always the same, they come and go, it's time for you ordinary Inter fans to wake up! Dear Lukaku, we would have expected more honesty and transparency from you, and although we welcome and defend you like a son and one of our own, the way you bend over for money shows that you are no different from anyone else. Even though you will always be insatiable, we wish you all the best."
In the interview, Lukaku claimed that he didn't start out wanting to return to the Blue Bridge - after all, his first season at Inter

I've also had the desire to seek out the best, and quote, "More than

But first I wanted to complete the renewal of my contract, but it didn't happen. So I told myself: since they won't give a contract extension, the only team I can imagine myself playing for is

Finally, he reiterated his desire to return in the future: "I hope from the bottom of my heart that one day I will be able to return to the International

--not at the end of my career, but when I was still at the top. Hopefully we can win more (trophies) together." Asked about the relationship with former partner Lautaro in the

At the potential for a reunion, Lukaku responded, "No, just stay where you are. I'll be back."
Inter fans didn't buy this explanation, and they also found in it a break in Lukaku's self-contradiction. You said you loved Inter and that leaving had nothing to do with money, but your contract with the team still had three years to go before it expired, so was renewing or not renewing it really enough of a reason?

Will he be forgiven for his reckless behavior this time? According to the Daily Mail, Blues boss Abu is firmly on Tuchel's side and has agreed to any team disciplinary action against Lukaku. Although the Belgian is well-liked in the dressing room, his teammates are not unreasonably protective and believe that the team should mete out some punishment to the source of the fiasco. The board has informed Lukaku of this and the club stands behind Tuchel.
According to Sky Sports, the Beast has also recognized the reality that he will not be leaving Stamford Bridge anytime soon, at least not this winter and summer. Therefore, a change of tone, from "due to Inter do not give contract extension helpless to join the

"Change" had hoped to return last summer.

The first thing I want to do is to make sure that I'm not forced to do it. The so-called knowledge of the times, after all, now a loan of Inter has been impossible to usher in the same as when he was as crazy as the sprinkling of money, last December, Lukaku agent Pasztorello on behalf of the player to elaborate the will to return to the blue and black director Ausilio in a joke to expose the true heart: "come back to the can, you have to use the rental."
