El Toro, after the brace scored against Pisa, increasingly in the history of the Nerazzurri club: with 163 goals scored he has passed a flag like the former number 10 and is now aiming for the podium of the most prolific goalscorers ever. “As soon as there is time I will offer a barbecue to everyone. Whoever is outside can talk, we have to stay as high up as possible”
There is only one imperative: rare asado. Captain Lautaro promised this to the team after the brace against Pisa: “We are playing every three days, so now it’s a bit difficult, but as soon as there’s time I’ll offer everyone a barbecue.” Especially to Esposito, who did well to provide him with the decisive assist with the second ball he touched. With the first he annoyed Aebischer during the throw-in. Most importantly, however, it allowed the captain to run quickly towards the corner of the Nerazzurri fans to get a well-deserved, heartfelt hug, chasing away those old ghosts of the last week.
NERAZZURRI FUTURE
—
If Inter returned to winning ways after two consecutive knockouts, the credit goes to their captain, who did well to pull a brace out of the hat after seventy difficult, difficult minutes. First the left foot at the top corner, then the strike into an empty net. There are two “thanks”: the first to Esposito, the second to Barella. Diouf could have also been added to the list, having entered brilliantly as a winger, but Lauti’s right-footed shot stopped at the post. At the end of the match they asked him about his history with the Nerazzurri and he continued: “I hope so – he replied -, the people love me. Many more years left on my contract. Inter must always win, we have been fighting for everything for a long time. Whoever is on the outside can speak, we must stay as high as possible”.
MAZZOLA GOVERNED
—
Lautaro has been in the spotlight all his life. When he wins, when he loses, when he comes out shaking his head after a change in the seventieth minute. When he throws the bottle because the Latin nature takes over. But he cares about Inter as much as he cares about his family. “I’m used to criticism – he declared at the end of the match, after overtaking Mazzola among the best Nerazzurri scorers -. I work for myself, for the team and for my family. I let others speak.” Goals count for him: ten in the season, six in the league, 163 with Inter. He needs eight to overtake Boninsegna, now in third place. Maybe in about ten years they will make a remake of Radiofreccia in a modern way. Ivan Benassi – alias Stefano Accorsi – in the famous radio monologue said he believed “in Bonimba’s overhead kicks”, i.e. Boninsegna. And then in the riffs of Keith Richards or in the Inter of Corso, Mazzola and Suarez. Maybe a few words will be said about Lautaro in the remake.
