Slavia Prague coach warns of Romelu Lukaku's physical threat

Slavia Prague coach Jindrich Trpisovsky has issued a warning regarding the physical capabilities of Romelu Lukaku ahead of the Champions League matchup against Fenerbahçe. Trpisovsky described the Belgian striker as an atypical player who possesses nearly “superhuman” speed and strength.

Drawing on past experiences facing Lukaku during matches with Inter Milan and AS Roma, Trpisovsky emphasized the difficulty of defending him in the penalty area and the final third of the pitch. Slavia defender David Zima echoed these sentiments, noting that the striker must not be given any space to avoid immediate punishment.

Despite entering the match as underdogs due to Fenerbahçe's superior financial resources and individual quality, Trpisovsky stated that his team must focus on clinical finishing and avoiding defensive errors to secure a result.
