Thierry Henry: I warned Lukaku not to go to Tuchel’s Chelsea, he is not that type of no.9

Even as a youth player of Anderlecht, he took a picture at Stamford Bridge and said that it was his dream to play for Chelsea, but after two adventures in London, it seems that Romelu Lukaku and the Blues are simply not destined. Thierry Henry, the legendary French striker, claims this is not surprising.Moreover, in a statement to CBS, he even claims that he told the Belgian himself that his second move to Chelsea, during Thomas Tuchel’s tenure as head coach, was not exactly the smartest choice.”We talked when he was going to Chelsea. I told him it would be difficult for him to play there and that’s what happened because of how Tuchel likes to play,” Henry began.”Pressure and only pressure. You are a nine, I am a nine, I am a wing, you are a wing, we change… Rom likes to be where he is. Give him the ball, get him into the game early, he will harass you, turn you, lurk in the penalty area, wait for crosses… He is a different nine than what Tuchel wanted”, the Frenchman further explained.##NAJAVA_MECA_7041939##Because of Tuchel, he didn’t even play in the end and quickly returned to Inter, but only on loan, so there is an option to return to Stamford Bridge. Now that the German is gone. Now that Graham Potter is the coach.“How will he fit into what Potter wants? I think they are struggling with it themselves, let alone with Lukaku in the team. And what does Lukaku want? I don’t think he wants to go back, that’s the main thing, I think he wants to stay at Inter. And there could be a little conflict there if they want him, because I think he wants to stay. He said the other day: “Everyone knows what I want, I want to stay,” Henry points out.Although Lukaku himself said after the winning goal in the clash with Porto…”I didn’t talk to anyone. I concentrate on myself, on the present, I don’t want to look at the future right now, that makes no sense. Football is the present, that’s the most important thing. I just want to play and prepare for the weekend and the next game.”Thierry Henry on whether Romelu Lukaku would consider going back to #CFC. “We had a discussion when he went to Chelsea. I told him he’s going to find it difficult to play there because of the way Thomas Tuchel liked to play… pic.twitter.com/xgzlJqxtk8— Ben Jacobs (@JacobsBen) February 22, 2023
