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?
