Belgium's coach stands up for Luke: If it were Maradona you wouldn't talk about it like that

Luke, who has been shining this season with an Inter fan, has encountered some criticism, which is more about the player's inability to play with the right foot.

However, Belgium's national electorate Roberto Martinez believes that if it were any name like Maradona, no one would mention that fact.

Some “have the goal of spreading what a player does not, or does not. There are some players who show up for the good things, and some players who are just the bad ones. Romelu is in the second category, following his adventure with Chelsea”, Martinez said.

He had good seasons with Everton, but as soon as he passed to Man Utd, everyone noticed when he didn't score, then it affected his views. This has been surprising to me, because Rome has wonderful qualities. He's a goalist, can't be measured for other things he doesn't do, as it were, Maradona was not good in defence”, has added Belgium's selection.

Nobody talks about how many times Maradona used the right leg. Rome is a goalo. That's a good job, and that's what he does best --”, Martinez said,

Lukaku has 52 goals recorded in 84 matches played with Belgium's national. He turns 27 years over the next month.
