Thomas Tuchel hits back at Antonio Conte’s Romelu Lukaku criticism
CHELSEA boss Thomas Tuchel has hit back at former Blues chief Antonio Conte after the Italian claimed the team have not ‘figured out how to use’ Romelu Lukaku..
Conte managed Lukaku at Inter Milan for two years, and in that time the Belgian scored 64 goals in 95 games.
Inter also won Serie A last season – for the first time in 11 years – ending Juventus’ nine-year reign at the top of Italian football.
But both moved on in the summer with Conte quitting on his title-winning side due to the club’s financial problems.
And Lukaku completed a £97.5million fairytale return to Chelsea.
Conte’s comments come after Lukaku failed to find the back of the net for the fourth game in a row.
The Italian claims the team – who have only registered ONE shot on target in their last two games – are yet to figure out how to get the best out of Lukaku.
He said: “I don’t think Chelsea have quite figured out how to use him yet.
