"Manchester United" forward Romelu Lukaku, communicating with the official club website, admitted that working with Zlatan Ibrahimovic helped him become a better player.
Although due to injury these players played together in the ranks of the "Red Devils" for a short time, R. Lukaku insists that he constantly learned from Z. Ibrahimovic.
"I learned many great things from Zlatan. Starting with his stories from the times at "Inter", "AC Milan", "Barcelona" or "Ajax" clubs, ending with working together during training sessions, where he liked to compete.
I remember one training session. Since we were both forwards, we always played on different teams. In one situation, which was 50-50, we fought for the ball and he attacked me without holding back.
That was the moment when I realized that this guy likes to compete and is ready to fight for his place on the field. That's why he replaced me. He opened my eyes. Ibra always fought for his place.
I learned to always be focused, work hard, but at the same time enjoy everything. Zlatan is a guy with whom you can have a great time. His personality was also important in the dressing room," R. Lukaku said.
