Lukaku just needs to adapt: Real Madrid goalie says

Real Madrid and former Chelsea goalkeeper Thibault Courtois is among those that would face the EPL side at Stamford Bridge tonight in the UCL.

Courtois, a fellow countryman with Chelsea centre forward Romelu Lukaku, spoke on his performance at the west London club.

According to Courtois, Lukaku needs time to adapt to the Blues’ style of play.

Recall that the Belgian striker joined the Blues from Inter Milan last summer, but he has struggled to perform at Chelsea and is now losing game time to other players.

‘Romelu is a really great striker,’ Courtois said.

‘It’s a bit strange to see him not play so much lately, but he’s a guy with enormous quality. He finds the goal really easily. Obviously there’s other great strikers at Chelsea so I understand it’s not always easy and if the team keeps winning, the manager keeps playing the same players. But I’m sure he will go through it.

‘Sometimes you just need a little adaptation. I had the same in Madrid, the first year wasn’t easy. You change tactics, you change team, you change trainers so you need to adapt again to everything and I’m sure he will be good, but I hope it is not tomorrow. He can wait one more week, he added.
