For Belgium's representative Romelu Lukaku, life was not always easy. He has not always made huge money, on the contrary, his life story is more than interesting and shocking.

Originally from the DR Congo, a corpulent attacker knew from what he was a little boy what he wanted to deal with. This choice was not his desire or the gir. It was simply a necessity because of the conditions in which he lived.

- When I was little, I came home for lunch after school. We always had the same - milk and bread, but when you are a child, you do not think much about it, I thought only that is the only thing that we can afford - the confession began to Lukaku.

In that period, many do not even remember their wishes, thoughts, attitudes ... Romel is not from these people. Already at that time, it was clear to him that he had to do something to provide himself and his family with a better life.

- I remember I was six years old when I saw my mom in front of the refrigerator, and today I remember that picture, stirred milk and water. At that moment I realized that we were poor and swore I would change that - said Romelu.

In today's world, it's not easy to stay consistent, not even much older people than a six-year-old boy. Simple, always something emerges, something is always interrupted on our way, but from that six-year old, many could learn a lesson on keeping the promise.

- I asked Dad when I could become a professional. He told me that I could do it at the age of 16. Then I gave myself a word that I would start bringing money into the house then.

He was only 11 days late. He played every match as if it was a finale. He was hungry, literally, and hungry for goals, which would allow him a better life. He did not even know how he looked, the truth was that he had no place to see him. 

Like many other things, today we are normal, without which we can not imagine life - Lukaku did not have them, but it only hardened it.

- We did not have TV, for me there was no football, nor electricity, we did not have it after two or three weeks. The warm water was a luxury for us. Mom had to "borrow" bread every day from the bakery. She would take it on Monday, and pay on Friday - continues sadly Lukaku.

He wore it when she cried, she's all in the world. He wanted to make her life easier, she did not know how, rarely the child knows. But he gave her a promise. A promise that turned out to fill it in record time.

- Yes, I told her at those moments that I would play for the first team of Andrleht. That's why I played every game as if it was a finale. When I played in the park, at training, I was furious and I always shot the ball with full force - said Romelu.

Life did not give him another option. He did not get good tickets, which would allow him to have basic conditions. It's rare for anyone, but it does not matter what cards you get, but how you play with them.

- I will never forget when I was defending myself at the age of 11. I was higher than my peers. Many parents wondered how many years I have, where my ID is. I just wondered what, how? There was no dad to defend me, but I had to do it myself, "Lukaku said.

Then his rage comes to the scene. The anger was above all directed to the financial situation in his prodigy. He sent this feeling to other things, people ... He did not choose the means, only to achieve his goal.

- When I brought them an ID card, many watched her suspiciously, then the blood rushed through my body. I thought, 'How will I kill my son, I would still kill him, but now I will destroy him, you will have to drive him in tears!' I wanted all of them to prove that I will be the best Belgian footballer in history - promised everyone a robust attacker.

He had a mission and did not give up on her, despite the suspicious views, the ugly words, and also the unbelievable how it could be so much more dominant than the peers. And he was.

- I scored 76 goals in 12 games for 12 games. I did it all in my dad's shoes that were bigger than my legs, but I got used to it - tells Lukaku with a smile.

One day a call came that changed his life. It was his grandfather.

- Usually we would talk about football, but this time it was different. He only asked me, "Roma, can you do me a favor"? I replied that I could. He only wanted to take care of his mother, his daughter. I did not know what was going on, but I agreed. Five days later, he passed away - said visibly shaken Romelu

He only wanted to see him in the Andrleht jersey. He lived to do it. And he succeeded in that. This time, he received a call that changed his life in another way.

- It was the wisest day of my life. It was a play-off in Belgium, and Andrleht and Standard were equal in the table, so they had to play a double that would decide the winner. I sat at home when I received a call from the coach before the second match that told me to pack bags and go to play for the first team.
- I have barely played this season for 19 years. I was wondering how the hell would sign a contract at the age of 16, so I made a bet with my coaching coach. If you give me a chance, I will give 25 goals by December. He just smiled at me. He accepted, but if I do not, I will have to be on the bench until the end of the season - Lukaku reveals details.

How do you think the bet ended?

- I gave 25 hits in November, it was the worst bet in that man's life. Let it be a lesson for everyone to never play with a hungry boy!

Let's get back to the part when he debuted for the first team. No one, but no one could believe it, nor his friends.

- A friend came for me to play football. My mother told him I was already playing. When asked where she was, she replied in the final of the play-off. I had 25 messages in three minutes, everyone asked me what I would do on television and what I was doing in the game - he did not even believe the former player Andrleht.

He entered the game in the 63rd minute. Then history had already been written. They did not win the title, but probably everyone in that club would change them if they had a player every year like him. He was debuting at 16 years and 11 days.

There is only one unrealistic desire, one that will never be able to fulfill it.

- I wish my grandfather could attend my career. If I could only make one call, I would call him and tell him that his daughter is good, there are no more rats in the apartment, no more sleep on the floor. Now we're fine, now everything's fine.

And that desire would be accomplished, only in his power. Lukaku has already proven that these others are realizing without a joke.

What a story!
