The Inter striker he regained his best level and destroyed Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s Sweden in the first game towards Euro 2024. He used to be ‘Big Rom’, a total attacker, a ‘killer’ from the spot whose ‘hat trick’ started the match in the best way is post Roberto Martínez in Belgium.
The ‘Red Devils’led by Lukaku, they passed the swedish team to begin his journey in Germany with three important points. The Nordic team hardly had any options against a practical, solid Belgium with their ‘9’ making the difference.
Belgium started well
The set didn’t last long Domenico Tedesco in creating danger. debruyne took command of operations and knew how to find Carrasco within the area after starting. The Atlético player had time to control from the far post, but his shot went too far and he missed a great chance to score. Also the defense theater put Sweden in trouble with a header which he managed to deflect Robin Olsen ‘in the extreme’. Belgium were on display without having to press the accelerator and in this they opened up a gap with a gentle shot from stupid with the head Lukebakioone of Tedesco’s novelties in the ‘eleven’, hooked it into place and ‘Big Rom’ slipped between the central offices to open the scoring.
Courtois He also signed up for the game by deactivating Sweden’s only chance in the first action, the feat of gustafsonand so it rested.
A step forward from the Nordics is expected, however Lukaku is still very hungry. and he returns to side with Lukebakio to maximize profits once the game resumes. The Wolfsburg winger broke inside the box and fired in a killer pass to make it 0-2.
He finished his scoring recital stupid before being replaced by a few minutes from the time. This time it is Bakayoko clapped who served him a third on a tray before leaving the Friends Arena.
