The Juventus defender in connection with Espn from Friuli talks about Lukaku’s farewell
THE INTERVENTION
After Lukaku there is Dzeko. It is not just about the transfer market, given that the Bosnian has replaced the Belgian, who flew to Chelsea, in the role of center forward at Inter, but the opinion expressed by the Udinese defender Samir, interviewed in the past few hours by the Brazilian Espn, the sports channel followed throughout South America.
The connection with Friuli was not taken by chance, given that, as they recalled in the studio, Samir has been in Italy since 2016. This is why he has faced top scorers who have conquered the scepter of strikers such as Higuain, Icardi, Cristiano Ronaldo and the much discussed (in blue) Immobile, without forgetting the eternal Quagliarella, but also strikers who have not become top scorers but of international caliber such as Ibrahimovic and Mertens.
“Lukaku was fundamental for the Inter Scudetto – said Samir -: he was someone who always made a difference in Serie A”. Then the memories in black and white: “This is why last year when we drew against Inter and keeping the 0-0 it was almost a victory: Udinese was the only team against which the future champions of Italy they failed to score. But it was very difficult to mark Lukaku even on that occasion: he is very strong physically, if you give him space, he uses his body a lot, he spins around you and immediately tries to frame the goal by shooting ».
It is clear that it will not be easy for the team inherited from Simone Inzaghi to forget him, but according to Samir, Inter has found the right center forward. «He is a great player in the penalty area. He is tall, strong and knows how to use his body very well. Also, shoot accurately with both feet. People in South America tend to think that players like him are bad with their feet, but Dzeko is totally different. He is a technical center forward and knows how to move very well ».
Also in this case Samir spoke to Espn from direct experience: «He too is very difficult to score: I played several times against Dzeko when he was at Roma, if you give him space he scores a goal or creates an action that scores. If you get distracted just for a moment it can surprise you and decide the game ».
A note to underline in view of the next intersection which for Udinese will be at the San Siro on October 31st, in the lunch match: high noon with Dzeko. –
