Inter striker Romelu Lukaku spoke to Italian media outlet DAZN tonight after Inter’s 2-0 victory over AC Milan in the Milanese derby.

“The hug with Antonio Conte? My relationship with him is very strong, he’s a coach who helps me a lot. At 26 I want a coach who gives me motivation, I’m happy to be here with him, in this team.”

“I’m very happy, this match was very important; on Wednesday there will be another difficult match against Lazio, but now I’m happy for these three points. Today went well, but about the Scudetto, now is not time to discuss it”.

The 26-year-old Belgian striker scored in his first ever Milanese derby tonight, scoring his third goal in four league games for the Nerazzurri. His performances so far are justifying coach Antonio Conte’s continued interest in the former Manchester United forward.

Inter are now top of the table with a perfect record after four wins in four games, sitting at twelve points.
