“Being first in the standings means a lot, we’re up there because we worked and knew how to suffer regardless of what we say” says the captain, always in defense of the group
The count says 5 goals in a row in the last 3 of the championship: brace against Pisa, scratch against Como, goal (and assist) against Genoa. Has Lautaro Martinez entered his best form? Perhaps saying this today is still premature, but in the meantime Inter are enjoying their captain. Not only that, because it is thanks to their star striker that the Nerazzurri are once again looking down on everyone. “For me, scoring goals and helping the team is always important – recognized Il Toro just after the Ferraris victory -, I try to give my best. When goals like this arrive it’s nice and important, so I’m very happy”. A happiness that not only projected Inter to the top of the table, taking advantage of the slowdowns of Napoli and Milan, but which contributed to quickly archiving the post-Liverpool waste and making Torino smile again. In the goal of the momentary 2-0 against Genoa, Lautaro is all there: anger, fight, hunger. Goal.
Team at the top

“Being first in the rankings means a lot – continues Lautaro -, we took the top because we worked, knew how to suffer and regardless of what anyone says we think of ourselves to give joy to the people who always follow us”. Then the usual, strong defense to the Nerazzurri group: “For years we’ve been talking about Inter because they’re doing well, it’s normal for criticism and compliments to arrive: we’re aware of our strength, we want to leave Inter on top. I’ll be repetitive, but the message in the locker room is clear. The message is for ourselves: we’re the ones who work to take Inter to where they deserve.” And today the numbers say that Inter deserves to be up there. Thanks to your captain.
