Seria A: Lukaku is a leader, Mourinho declares

Roma manager Jose Mourinho praises striker Romelu Lukaku after joining the club on loan from Chelsea in the summer.

The big Belgian has scored 7 goals and created 2 assists in 9 matches for his new club.

Mourinho told reporters: “He’s not only a leader in technical terms. He also gives us something emotionally. He’s got experience and the hunger to win.

“He is a positive influence on the team at all levels. We are very happy to have him and after tonight we want to rest him a bit. His physical strength is very similar to his mental strength.”

“Tonight he was lucky to score, but unlucky on another occasion, when he was about to score after a fantastic move.”
