Slavia Praha is yet to concede a goal in the Europa League this season, but was scored by Edoardo Bove within 43 seconds. 16 minutes later, it was Romelu Lukaku’s turn to kick into the opponent’s net.
2 goals ahead helps the Serie A representative create a big advantage in the remaining stages. They defeated Prague and established a 5-match winning streak in all competitions. Positive results help Jose Mourinho and his team look forward to a great battle against Inter Milan in Serie A this weekend.
The pressure on former friend Lukaku promises to be terrible. Inter fans have pledged to use 30,000 whistles to make a deafening noise every time Lukaku touches the ball. Asked how to prepare the Belgian for that scenario, Mourinho replied after winning 3 points against Prague, quoting Football Italia:
Mourinho and Lukaku will face their old club this weekend.
“Nothing. He just needs to rest. It’s a big game against a super team, it gives some people extra motivation, but all we need to do is rest.”
“For a moment I thought Bryan Cristante had injured himself, I was distraught. I don’t think Simone Inzaghi would have that reaction when he saw one of his players injured. Unfortunately, for us , any small problem is a disaster”.
