Lukaku: "I always give everything for these colours"
Team
— Apr 23rd 2023The Nerazzurri forward is the match winner in Empoli: brace and assist for Romelu
A right and a left. Two beautiful goals, two finishes that sunk Empoli and gave Inter 3 points. Romelu Lukaku dragged Inter into the away match in Tuscany, which ended with the 3-0 for Lautaro, who was assisted by the Belgian.
The Nerazzurri striker returned to scoring goals from open play (the last was against Lecce in the league opener), and to scoring a brace in Serie A (the last against Lazio in 2021) and helped the team return to winning ways in the league.
These are his words after the match.
“I have a very good relationship with the fans, I have always given my all for Inter, because it gave me the opportunity to win in a prestigious and difficult championship like the Italian one. I must always give my best for the badge, because Inter allowed me to become what I am today. I'm regaining confidence, even in individual actions or when I look for teammates as with Lautaro's goal. I'm happy for him because we had a difficult period in front of goal but now we're regaining confidence. Champions League? Now the most important game is the Coppa Italia against Juventus. Future? I don't pay attention to rumours, now I just give my all for Inter.”

This is how Danilo D'Ambrosio commented on the Empoli victory to Inter TV, emphasising the importance of the clean sheet.
“It was important to win, they are three huge points that we were missing and needed. We always have to play as a team, when that happens, victories like this come. At the end of the match I went to congratulate Handanovic, Acerbi and De Vrij because it's always nice and important not to concede goals: we did well. On a pitch like Empoli it's fundamental to show a certain kind of spirit: you also need humility because here you don't win without tackling the match at its best. In the second half we accelerated and we won with merit. The season? We won the Supercoppa, we're in the semi-finals of the Champions League and the Coppa Italia. We need a lot of energy, it's true that in the league we lack many points but we've always shown proactive football, full of scoring chances.”
