The good news for coach Mourinho is that Lukaku showed great determination as soon as he became an official player of AS Roma. Striker Paulo Dybala also returned to training with the team before the match.
"I'm really looking forward to playing. I can help the club in any way I can at the moment. Coach Mourinho texted me, saying he's looking forward to my presence at AS Roma. I've worked with Coach Mourinho since I was a young player (at Chelsea). Then at MU. He knows me very well. So it depends on Coach Mourinho, I'm always ready," Lukaku shared in his first interview when he debuted at AS Roma.
AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli is skeptical about Lukaku's move to AS Roma: "On paper, Lukaku is a good signing for AS Roma. But that doesn't mean anything, we have to wait and see how he performs on the pitch."
The effect of coach Mourinho and the quality contracts that AS Roma brought in for the 2023-2024 season, continued to help the Rome team sell out tickets at the Olimpico stadium before the match against AC Milan. This is the 35th consecutive match that AS Roma's Olimpico stadium with a capacity of more than 72,000 seats has sold out.
Coach Mourinho always receives great support from AS Roma fans. He returned to coach his team in the match against AC Milan after a 10-day ban.
"It's exciting to play in such a passionate and sold-out stadium. This is a highly challenging match, we can't be afraid when we come here. We have to be really excited and enter the match with all our determination.
AS Roma are not weakened if they are without Dybala or Lukaku is not ready. They are always a strong, organized, physical and dangerous team. They concede very few goals and are very good at set pieces. Those are the things that coach Mourinho has brought to AS Roma. We have to prepare very carefully for the match," added AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli.
