Romelu Lukaku has been criticised by fans and media for his poor scoring record at Chelsea and lack of involvement in the build-up.
The Belgian finds himself in a situation somewhat similar to what Kai Havertz had been going through in his first year at the club—and now the German has sent a message of support to the striker.
“I was not the first one in that situation, Rom is not the first one, and he will not be the last one. Sometimes it takes time and that’s it,” Kai said, as quoted by Chelsea’s official website.
“The first season was not my best, but at the end I scored a very important goal in a Champions League final. It helped me a lot.
“If I hadn’t scored it, everybody would say ‘he’s so bad’ and ‘what a disastrous first season’. I would not say that to myself because I was 21 when I came, and it’s not easy at this age.
“I knew before I came it would take two or three years to adapt. Two seconds in one year changed the whole year for me. Small things can turn everything around.”
