Manchester United striker Romelu Lukaku says that former Inter Milan striker Adriano was
one of his boyhood idols. Adriano was considered one of the world’s foremost strikers little
over a decade ago.
Currently 35 years old and clubless following well documented issues with alcoholism,
Adriano was once considered the latest great Brazilian striker- and he certainly caught a
young Lukaku’s eye.
Lukaku told ESPN Brasil, “When I was little, Adriano was my great idol. Because when I was
little, I had the same qualities as him.
“Very strong, shooting with the left was the same. I hope he’s going to play again because
he’s a good player. For me he’s an idol. I like him a lot.”
Lukaku also revealed in the interview that he had picked up some Portuguese from former
teammates such as David Luiz at Chelsea, “I have a good relationship with people from
Brazil and I really like Brazilian players.”
