C. Fuchsas: Lukaku is Hercules

"Leicester City" defender Christian Fuchs compared "Manchester United" striker Romelu Lukaku to the Greek mythic hero Heracles, and described his teammate Jamie Vardy as someone "with a big mouth." Fuchs praised these players in an interview with the portal spox.com, where he talked about past opponents. The 31-year-old footballer, before joining the "Foxes" team and winning the Premier League with them, represented Gelsenkirchen's "Schalke", where he faced many strong opponents. However, he singled out "Man United's" offensive leader. "Stand next to Romelu Lukaku and then you'll understand," said Fuchs. "He is Heracles and, in my opinion, his profession is lifting weights. Some Premier League players are machines." Meanwhile, Fuchs had similar praise for Vardy. "He is a young and cheeky guy with a big mouth, but he turns his words into actions, at least most of the time," Fuchs added. The team he represents, "Leicester", unexpectedly defeated London's "Tottenham" yesterday and climbed to the top half of the league table.
