Or does he simply mean Tuchel is playing a team in which he’s not starting? Now we come to the timing. Or does he mean different to the formation he was told he was going to play in at Chelsea? That would make anyone unhappy. Does he mean different to that of Antonio Conte at Inter Milan? That’s just a statement of fact. Lukaku then qualifies his unhappiness by explaining that Thomas Tuchel has “chosen to play with another module”, which we assume (and the fact we’re assuming is an issue) means the formation. Lukaku himself described that as “normal”, but everyone else knows better than he does – this is a HUGE problem. That’s what people are so upset about, capitalised in headlines and tweets. I am not happy with the situation, but I am a worker and I must not give up.” I think the coach has chosen to play with another module, I just have to not give up and continue to work and be a professional. After two years in Italy, in which I worked a lot at Inter with trainers and nutritionists, I am physically fine. But I’m not happy with the situation, this is normal. “Physically I’m fine, even better than before. This was taken from the Sky Sports Italia article, via Google Translate. There have been various translations, no doubt in some cases to fit the narrative of Lukaku’s displeasure at Chelsea. When the face value provides such a keyboard-bashing, up-in-arms opportunity for anger, it doesn’t pay to dig deeper. Translation (for some), context and timing were necessary for an informed opinion, but in the heat of media click battle and with the absence of a social media fence on which to sit, the written translation was ample. It was disrespectful, ridiculous, crazy, ill-timed, authentic and honest, depending who was asked. Romelu Lukaku did nothing wrong – he doesn’t need to apologise.
