EURO 2024: There is a very different Lukaku in the Belgian team

JUST LOOKING FOR UKAKU?

When talking about the Belgian team at this time, many people will mention Kevin De Bruyne, the midfielder who has been considered the team's leader for many years. In addition, they also have other stars such as Jeremy Doku, Leandro Trossard...

Meanwhile, Lukaku is remembered by the audience for his humorous moves on the field and is nicknamed "wooden leg". However, there is a very different Lukaku in the national team shirt. In Serie A season 2023-2024, Lukaku scored 13 goals in 32 appearances for AS Roma. But when wearing the Belgian national team shirt in the EURO 2024 qualifiers (playing in 2023), he only needed 8 matches to score 14 goals, possessing a full "collection" of doubles (2 goals), hat-tricks (3 goals) and repokers (4 goals), contributing greatly to the team's unbeaten record (6 wins, 2 draws). With what he has shown, Lukaku will certainly be trusted by Belgian football fans in his journey to conquer EURO 2024.

Belgium have a star-studded squad, while Slovakia have no big names in Europe. However, they have impressed with 7 wins and 1 draw in the EURO 2024 qualifiers, losing only 2 matches. "Slovakia lost only 2 matches against Portugal (0-1 and 2-3). This is proof that they are not easy to bully," said Belgium coach Domenico Tedesco.

Balance of strength and talent

The match between Romania and Ukraine in Group E at 8:00 p.m. on June 17 (live on VTV2) promises to be very exciting as the two teams are considered evenly matched. The Romanian team has qualified for EURO 2024 with an unbeaten record (6 wins, 4 draws) and is ranked first in Group I. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian team has many bright stars such as goalkeeper Andriy Lunin (Real Madrid), Oleksandr Zinchenko (Arsenal), Mykhaylo Mudryk (Chelsea).

Ukraine coach Serhiy Rebrov assessed the opponent: "Romania is really a dangerous opponent. Ukraine needs to focus more in the match. I think this will be a good match."
