I will never forgive Villas-Boas – Lukaku

Romelu Lukaku has revealed his anger and frustration at being frozen out from first team duties by Andre Villas-Boas. The Belgian striker joined Chelsea for £18m, but was never got opportunities under the Portuguese. “There is one person that I will never forgive for what he did to me – the previous coach. It’s not just that. It was also the way he spoke to me and treated me, ” the 19-year-old Lukaku told Sportwereld. “Right from the beginning, it was weird. I could not stand how he was treating me. I received no explanation. In training, he put me on the right or left wing. In training matches, I was a substitute with a shirt to keep swapping teams. I really learned nothing. “I have told the club that too. I understand that he was under pressure, but I was also thinking of myself. I have improved in recent months.” Lukaku however says he is delighted with becoming a European champion. “I could not believe it. I had to think, ‘Is this really happening’? European champion … My life has changed and I’m only 19.”
