This video is the best example of the subtle racism/bias present in football analysis. Saying Morata is “more intelligent” than Lukaku is based on appearances rather than how they play.

Perhaps it was not intentional but bias is what it boils down to.

Lukaku speaks 8 languages and has adapted superbly to different countries. Let’s not forget he is one of the most studious footballers in the world, spending hours watching football to analyze where he can improve.

If anyone deserves the “intelligent” tag, it is Lukaku.

Romelu “pace and power” Lukaku this season:

33 goals + 6 assists in 50 games. (yet to play EL final)

Alvaro “intelligent” Morata since the beginning of 2018-19:

31 goals + 5 assists in 85 games.
