The resemblance is such that it leaves Napoli fans in a state of excitement mixed with disbelief. In the historic center of the city, a group of supporters found themselves in front of what appears to be Romelu Lukaku, the famous striker and one of the protagonists of the Neapolitan team coached by Antonio Conte.
In a few minutes, the word spread and many fans began to approach to greet him, asking for a selfie with the footballer. This meeting aroused palpable enthusiasm among those present, who seemed unable to believe they were in front of one of the stars of contemporary football.
However, the question remains: 'Is it him or isn't it him?'. As fans ponder, the atmosphere is filled with anticipation and surprise, making the event a memorable moment for those lucky enough to attend.
It is Isaac Dankwa, a 40-year-old basketball player from the Veneto regional division with the Crespano del Grappa jersey. He is spending a few days of vacation in Naples and, like many others, he allowed himself a tourist trip during the Christmas holidays.
“I love the people of Naples so much”
Isaac immediately revealed his identity, but he decided to play along anyway and posed with the many fans who approached him. He commented on the episode amusedly on his Instagram profile: “But how many people. They think I'm really Lukaku. I take selfies and sign autographs. It's all so incredible. I love the people of Naples so much." The images are making the rounds on the web, also taken from the Facebook page “The humility of being called minors”.

It's really strange how people can confuse a basketball player with a famous footballer. Sure, the resemblance is remarkable but I don't understand how they can think that Lukaku is on vacation in Naples.
