Lautaro Martinez, harsh response to Costacurta

Lautaro Martinez responds in kind to Alessandro Costacurta

Straight from Argentina's training camp, Lautaro Martinez responded harshly to criticism from Alessandro Costacurta, who had accused him of not being incisive in big matches. "Sometimes one avoids answering becauseé these comments hurt,” he stressed to the microphones of TyC Sports -But beyond the fact that they are just opinions, opinions must be correct. Costacurta said that I am absent in big matches and this è false.

"For example, I scored a goal in the Champions League semifinal against AC Milan, one of the most important matches in the clubs history. Maybe you can go and see it again,” the Nerazzurri striker rejoined, “And not only in that one, I scored in many other important matches.”

On his moment at Inter: "I am living a very good moment at’Inter. The truthà è that I did not imagine my career in this way and in a club that had this relationship with the Argentines. And instead I got this chance and I have been playing at Inter already for six years, and for me it is very important to be in the history of this club and try to break records. I work day by day and I hope to continue this path to give great joy to the people who from day one have treated me in an incredible way. I always try to give my best on the field, this è my job".

Finally, he opened up about the Olympics with Argentina: "If Mascherano intends to count on me, I will always be available. As I always say, I work to wear this jersey. Being in the national team è a privilege, as a child everyone dreams of wearing this jersey. Listening to the anthem, being there. If Mascherano is listening, I confirm to him that I am available. Then it does not depend only on us, but I will do my best".
