‘Why Ziyech is the one frustrating Romelu Lukaku at Chelsea – Former Chelsea striker finally reveals
After just having 7 touches of the ball in the Premier League clash against Crystal Palace, Chelsea striker has been supported by former Chelsea striker.
However, Lukaku was subsequently dropped for the game against Lille, and many are wondering whether the Belgian will as well be dropped for the League Cup final against Liverpool.
It’s been said that Lukaku has missed the impact of wing-backs Ben Chilwell and Reece James, who both know how to whip in dangerous balls into the box.
Meanwhile, former Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino, has added that Hakim Ziyech could be part of Lukaku’s frustration, as he’d prefer to take a shot than cross the ball.
Cascarino told talkSPORT: “Lukaku is one who wants to get on your shoulder, into space and wait for the ball to come in behind that back line where he can have that half a yard and use his strength to score a goal,”
“Chelsea are not a crossing team. Ziyech can be on the ball and he is a deliverer of the ball into good areas.
“He also takes a lot of shots and he’s looking to try and get it in there in the top corner.
“It’s a very frustrating time for him [Lukaku] and to have seven touches in the game, where one’s a kick-off and one’s a clearance, it clearly tells you he’s very frustrated.”
