Lukaku spoke about Conte, saying, "We share the same mentality: only hard work can improve us. Conte's footballing vision suits my playing style, and when I'm at home, I try to learn the concepts he wants." He added, "Our relationship has always worked because he motivates me every day to be the best."
Lukaku considers Conte to be like a "footballing father" to him, just like Roberto Martinez in Belgium, Koeman at Everton, and Ariel Jacobs at Anderlecht. These individuals have had a significant impact on his life and career.
Lukaku was asked about his influence on De Bruyne's decision to join Napoli. He replied, "Not much, just a couple of simple phone calls. I told him about the team's spirit and our goal to improve and maintain our position next season."
Lukaku believes De Bruyne will face a significant challenge at Napoli, but he thinks De Bruyne will enjoy the challenge.
