De Ketelaere says Italy has developed him, Lukaku is no obstacle

Charles De Ketelaere is gaining an increasingly central role in the Belgian national team, while stating that Romelu Lukaku's presence does not bother him at all.

The young Atalanta striker, fresh from the decisive goal against Turkey in the Nations League, has earned greater centrality in the Red Devils' attacking line.

After the World Cup, his performances for the national team have improved considerably, with four goals and three assists in the last ten appearances.

In the press conference, De Ketelaere answered questions about Lukaku by stating: “It doesn’t bother me that many questions are asked about Romelu in the national team. I have seen him score many goals wearing the Belgium shirt, so it is understandable that he is talked about a lot.”

He then added that Italian football has changed him and helped him mature, describing it as “a different, very tactical style of play.”
