Roberto Martinez

And it's very easy for someone when you're assessing a game of Romelu to highlight something that he didn't do well because he's capable of doing everything.

Romelu should be assessed on scoring goals.

He's a goal scorer and if you treat him like that, he can give you a job to the team.

If you want to assess him for what he didn't do, it's like asking Messi that he should tackle more in a game.

well, the players got their strengths.

And I think Romelu can be too good at many things as number nine, and sometimes he gets heavily criticized unfairly, because his role should be scoring goals.

And only the manager knows what you ask from Romelu.

I worked with Romelu at Everton as a young player, and he, in the first season, he was a very different player than the season after.

He's someone that he developed, but he's still a goal scorer.

And in the national team now, he's the highest goal scorer in the history.

of the Belgium national team at a very young age.

And those are the stats that make him very, very special at that level.

He's a goalscorer.

And the mentality.

I think a player in a World Cup, a game that is watched by 500 million people, and you ask him to play out of position or in a different position, it's just the strength and the belief.

He's got the mentality to be able to perform under those circumstances.

But Romelu Lukaku had a very interesting upbringing.

When he was playing, he already had this body at 16 years old.

So for him, it was very difficult to learn to become a number nine because all he needed to do is just move his arm and he was in goal.

So the coach in the national team and on the seven teams, Bob Brauiers, played him as a right winger.
