Romelu Lukaku on his childhood rage

Every match Romelu Lukaku has played, he's treated as a final. That line lands differently once you hear what came before it. As a kid there was hunger in the house, rats running through it, and a family that couldn't afford to watch the Champions League on television. His mother would stretch the milk by mixing it with water so it went further. Parents looked at him oddly too, because he was bigger and different from the other kids. Then at 12 years old he put up 76 goals across 34 matches, wearing the same boots the whole time: his father's. Football, in his words, was how he got revenge on hunger, prejudice, and poverty. That's the kind of story that explains why some people never quit. #RomeluLukaku #Football
