"I have an anger inside me." - Romelu Lukaku reveals Chelsea revenge plans.



Romelu Lukaku has revealed his burning desire to prove his critics wrong ahead of his second debut with Inter Milan. 

The Chelsea star spoke intently of the 'anger' that drives him to perform well at Inter after a bad spell at Chelsea. 

“The season at Chelsea gave me extra motivation to do even better than before,” he told DAZN.

“I think in one year everyone has forgotten about the things I am capable of doing on the pitch. That is a kind of anger that I have inside me.

“That now the [Inter] team has it too, which didn’t win last year, all together we hope to do better and bring something home.” Lukaku added. 

Lukaku pinpointed that he didn't have the career he wanted at Chelsea, and revealed at some point, he wanted to take "revenge at Chelsea" before he left:

“I think before, when I left, I wanted to take revenge at Chelsea because when I was young it was my team for 11 years,” he reflected. “I had the opportunity to go back there and thought I would be a hero, but that wasn’t the case.

“In March, when I heard there was an opportunity to come back here, slowly I didn’t say anything, but toward the end of the season we did a very good job with the club and I was able to come back here.

“I make reflections only at the end of the season, so after the last game I put myself to think what my situation was. I saw that as a player with Inter I did well, the season at Chelsea for me was difficult. I had no doubts, that’s why I made the decision to come back here.”

Lukaku is known for being blunt, and has lost the admiration of Chelsea fans for his controversial press releases. 

But this isn't another one of such controversial statements. Or is it?

Graham Potter has succeeded in these three areas where Tuchel failed.

 OPINION: Graham Potter has succeeded in these three areas where Tuchel failed.  The Blues were back in Premier League action on Saturday, and had sealed a 3-0 victory over Wolves at the Bridge.  The game had seen goals come from the Blues' attacking options, something which had rarely been seen in the Tuchel era.  Not just that, there were noticeable changes and improvement in team set up that were not seen under the former German Boss. All of which will be highlighted below.  Firstly, the handing of debut to Chelsea's signing, Carney Chukwuemeka. Graham Potter's choice to hand one of his starlets a debut demonstrates the trust that he has in the young players at Stamford Bridge that can help him through a tricky run. It's harder than it seems to just trust the youth though.  Tuchel struggled to fully implement the pathway desired and was always focused on the here and now, the short term. He felt warmth with experience. Potter already looks to have brough...
