Roma striker Lukaku delighted with 4-goal Belgium performance

Roma striker Romelu Lukaku was delighted with his four goal performance for Belgium last night.

Lukaku struck four goals as Belgium defeated Azerbaijan in their Euro2024 qualifier.

The Chelsea-owned striker later said, "The whole team gave a great performance today and we showed our qualities well. After four goals it feels very good.

"I played a lot with Roma in the last few weeks, that's why the coach and I decided that I would leave at half time. It's really very good to be qualified, but this must motivate us to continue like this.

"It's true that I try to do my best to be able to guide the young people in the team. During training and matches, I try to put my trust in them. I don't talk much and I let them play with their qualities.

"But when we play, sometimes I tell him: 'After you do your dribble, look at me.' This new generation is very talented and I'm sure we can go very far and we will do beautiful things."
