Belgium manager Roberto Martinez thanks Inter for helping to transform Romelu Lukaku. ‘He’s not the same player he was three years ago.’

The 28-year-old is fresh from winning the Scudetto at San Siro after two seasons in Serie A.

“Playing against Lukaku now is not the same thing compared to three years ago, because he’s not the same player he was three years ago,” said Martinez in a press conference ahead of tomorrow’s friendly with Croatia.

“Now he is able to create many more spaces for his teammates and we need to make the most of that with the national team too.”

Lukaku scored 30 goals and provided 10 assists in 44 competitive games for Inter this season.
