Inter Need To Raise The Tempo & Improve Build-Up To Get The Best From Romelu Lukaku, Italian Media Suggest | OneFootball

Inter need to increase the tempo that they play at and improve the quality of the build-up play if they are to get the best out of Romelu Lukaku when he returns from injury, according to a report in the Italian print media today.

As has been reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the return of Romelu Lukaku to the Nerazzurri has not yet gone to plan for a number of reasons.

He has been out with an injury in recent weeks but even before that, he had hardly recaptured his best Inter form from his first spell. He scored in the first two minutes against Lecce but then struggled until the thigh injury.

He is expected to be fit for the game against AS Roma on October 1 and he could be used from the start. Inter need him to be 100% from the off though and that is why they must adapt their game to suit him.

By increasing the overall tempo of the play, the Belgian will be able to target tired defenders with his pace and powerful style of running.
