Filip Joos was an attentive spectator on Sunday evening at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. Our football commentator was shown a match between Romelu Lukaku and Charles De Ketelaere, but in reality that wasn’t even the main reason for his trip. He himself tells the story of his trip to Italy.
“De Ketelaere against a psychopath”
“It was a surprise that Charles De Ketelaere was present at the kick-off. And, despite his substitution at half-time, I certainly didn’t think he was bad. He worked hard without the ball and also kept control well from time to time .”
“De Ketelaere also had the opportunity to make it 0-2, but he saw Rui Patricio save his attempt. A missed opportunity.”
“And then there was a moment… Mancini made a mistake so in judo you are excluded. De Ketelaere faced a psychopath. In fact Mancini has to start every match with the yellow card, because he receives it anyway.”

“After that ridiculous violation, the Italian continued doggedly twice more. Then the reputation of CDK, a beautiful and good Belgian footballer who vanished at Milan, still plays in the coach’s head. That’s when the change was made” .
“It’s a shame he didn’t have the chance to get past that fool in the back after the break. It’s a good thing for De Ketelaere that his replacement Scamacca made a little move on the penalty kick after just 3 minutes and didn’t touch the ball again for the rest of the match.”
“His successor really didn’t do any better. I certainly didn’t think De Ketelaere was bad. If he had had that chance he would have been a hosanna in the Italian newspapers. Now it was just normal.”
“Promising performance from Lukaku”
“Romelu Lukaku was very good in the first half. He played the role of striker, attacking midfielder and set up attacks by deflecting the ball well or keeping track of a man in the defense. Even after the break he still reached a level, but he – and Dybala completely – sank.”
“But Lukaku gave a promising performance. I also saw him banging the billboards with his fists afterwards: for me it’s a good sign. It’s thanks to Lukaku and Dybala that Roma are still in 8th place. Without them nothing would happen offensively.”
“Although I understand that he gets tired even after an hour and, above all, he gets tired.”
Without Dybala and Lukaku in attack nothing would happen.

“What I think, and this is why Lukaku will not score 30 goals: he is not an active striker and/or strong on crosses.”
“The fact that he often has to set up Roma’s home attacks himself works as an alibi in this sense. But it means that you lack sharpness on balls coming from the wing.”
“In a moment like this, Lukaku wants to score a little less, he prefers them to guide him with a ball that passes on the ground. You can see it above all on free kicks. He is among them, but in reality he knows that it is not his genre. He needs to be a little more active there: you never know when an apple will fall out of the cupboard.”

Romelu Lukaku and Roma were supposed to share the points with Atalanta.
“Zirkzee is the real one”
“Seeing Bologna at work with Joshua Zirkzee was the reason for my trip. I sat next to a 75 year old lady who sang every song, uncovered, in the rain… But I was very happy to have had 4 keys to sphere and 3 ideas from Zirkzee that were superior.”
“Truly, the talent was oozing. Except no goal came, because the rest of the team didn’t see it or couldn’t capitalize on it. But those actions made my trip worth the trip.”
“It’s just going to get frustrating, because now everyone is going to pay attention to him. So I’m afraid the numbers are going to go down a little bit. But Zirkzee is really the real thing for me. He’s actually a Manchester City player, that kind of football. Someone who makes people play the rest of the team is better.”
I understand that Bayern would like to buy Joshua Zirkzee back for 20 million.

“I understand that Bayern would like to buy him back for 20 million, because they see that he is a super talent. And then you don’t want him to completely break through, say, at Tottenham.”
“You know, if as an Ajax fan I met Sven Mislintat (the fired sporting director, ed.), I would only say one word: “Zirkzee”. And then he would have to leave with his tail between his legs.”
“I’m really curious to see what the coach of the Dutch national team Ronald Koeman will do. You can’t go for Weghorst or Depay like you did at the World Cup. Zirkzee is much better if you want to bring modern football. Except that he only plays for Bologna and not it will be more fourth So there will be question marks.”
“Suddenly I remembered why it is so beautiful in a Belgian stadium”
“A call, if by chance the Italian Minister of Health reads Sporza”.
“I would urge him to introduce a smoking ban in Italian stadiums, like some colleagues from other countries.”
“It’s terrible. People smoke and vape everywhere… As an Italian I had already started a petition.”
“Suddenly I remembered why it’s so nice to be in a Belgian stadium.”
