Romelu Lukaku, in an interview with Radio Crc, spoke about Conte and the Scudetto race: “Conte called me well in advance, and I said yes almost immediately. We both know what I need to perform at my best; many words are not necessary. I don`t receive any special treatment; on the contrary, he is stricter with me because he expects a lot. I like this responsibility; it has made me grow and improve throughout my career. I will always be grateful to him for this. Everyone says Inter are the favorites. They have a large and very high-quality squad; we must be honest. Atalanta is on a great journey; last year, they won the Europa League, and now they are growing even further.

We want to get our revenge; no one expected us to be in this position, but now we are here, and we must continue to work hard. To realize your dreams, you have to give everything every day and be ready for any challenge. When you are part of a winning cycle, you must always raise the bar. Others improve, and you have to do the same. The fans want to experience that feeling of victory again; winning again is even more beautiful. The coach, as a player, always savored every victory as if it were the first; we want to do the same for this city. We don`t feel complacent.”
