Lautaro Martinez didn’t worry Lionel Scaloni

Scaloni’s words

Lionel Scaloni spoke about Lautaro Martinez to Gazzetta dello Sport: "Worried in the past few months? No, never. Do you know whyé? Becauseé Lautaro è a total player, not è simply a striker whose value is measured by the goals he scores".

"&Eegrave; a footballer who makes the team play, and this is even more true in this Inter of Inzaghi: he drops down to bring up the midfielders and dialogue with them, his movements are never casual and are always positive for the team. His tactical intelligence makes him much more than just a striker. È a player who is always there, whether he scores or not è vital and fundamental in the functioning of his formation. That’s why I never worried. And then also becauseé I know him and appreciate him like a son".

"Where do I put him in the ranking of the great strikers of the moment? Let’s say that in the world today there are very few strikers like him. But very few few eh? And è also the captain of’Inter. Clearly, because è è the iconic player of Inter, the armband has a great value but in general Lautaro è largely the most recognized player among the Nerazzurri, in addition to being world champion. È a prestige he è earned by playing great seasons in which he always showed a monstrous regularity, something very very difficult for a striker in a league like Serie A".

"How do I see the duel between Inter and Napoli? Open until the end. It’ll depend a lot on Inter’s Champions: Inzaghi’s team has the chances to go all the way in Europe and obviously the’wear and tear will have its weight. Lì Napoli, which is having a great season with Conte, has a small advantage. It will beà decisive to see if Inter can’resist the best on both fronts".
