The Argentinian Lautaro Martinezstriker and captain of Inter Milanadmitted that he was going through a difficult dry season and, although he said that he was not too worried because he was working well, he noted that it was the “worst” of his career. Inter’s undisputed leader, Lautaro went from being top scorer with 24 goals to scoring just 1 in 9 games. Only 6 in Serie A so far this season. Numbers far from their peak.
He did not shy away from questions in a press conference this Sunday and honestly faced his situation, before Milan face off in the final of the Italian Super Cup, in a very special match because it is the ‘Derbi della Madonnina’. “I rested a bit, I didn’t do the preparation I wanted in the preseason because there was no time. I feel different, I’ve had moments like this, but I think this is the worst. I’m getting my form back and I’m calm even without scoring,” he commented.
“I don’t pay much attention to statistics. The goal is important, but it’s more important for Inter to win. I have to work for the team and I’m happy that we’re doing a good job. When I don’t score, I always try to -contribute to other people’s teams.” ways and, in my opinion, I do it,” he noted.
Very motivated ahead of the Riyadh derby
The final to be played in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, will pit Milan’s two teams against each other for the first title of the season, with Inter the clear favourites. “I am very motivated for this match because it is a final, it is a derby. We all know how important this match is,” said the Argentine captain.
Frenchman Marcus Thuram will not be in the Inter eleven alongside Lautaro due to an adductors injury he suffered in the semifinal against Atalanta, so Iranian Mehdi Taremi will start in attack.
