Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Chelsea hero, Geremi, has delivered his verdict on striker Romelu Lukaku\u2019s criticism of the Blues\u2019 manager, Thomas Tuchel and his tactics at the club.<\/p>\n

Geremi insisted that Lukaku\u2019s criticism of Tuchel and his tactics was \u2018misunderstood and misinterpreted\u2019.<\/p>\n

Lukaku sparked controversy last December when he said he was \u2018not happy\u2019 with his bit-part role under Tuchel at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

The Belgium international expressed his affection for former club Inter Milan, saying he wanted to return one day, and was critical of Tuchel\u2019s tactics at Chelsea.<\/p>\n

Lukaku later apologized for his remarks, but the whole affair could be about to flare up again after he posted a cryptic Snapchat message on Friday evening ahead of Chelsea\u2019s FIFA Club World Cup final tie with Palmeiras on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that there was a lot of misunderstanding and misinterpretation about what happened,\u201d Geremi told the Daily Mirror.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis attitude says that he is happy, so I think it was all misinterpreted about what he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, I think he can still give more, but he is trying. Lukaku is one of the best strikers in the world and every club would love to have him in the squad,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
