Lautaro: “Another final! At Inter I feel trust and I repay it”

Cyclone Lautaro hits Milan in the last useful derby. Toro takes off another pair of pebbles from his shoes, frees his instinct and drags Inter into the final of the Italian Cup. When he does not think too much, the Argentine is a champion because he has immediate hits, he works hard to bring the first pressing and is one who does not tremble in big matches. “Another final, we are happy – he explains at the end of the race -. There was my family, I can’t ask for more: this victory is for them. Thanks to the public. There are words I don’t like, but here they have me. given confidence and I always try to repay it. In the championship we have lost important points but we have to rest assured, because we are missing difficult matches. “

Goals and market

–

The “words” that made Toro see red, already lethal with another spell on the fly in the final against Spezia, are those on the market and on the hardships of the beginning of 2022. If it were not for Salernitana (goal in December, hat-trick in March), Lautaro in the new calendar year would be stopped at the penalty in the Super Cup with Juve, at the useless feat of Liverpool and at last Friday’s paw. Little for one with the means of him, fresh from renewal as a top player and the scepter of the goal acquired after the departure of Lukaku. It is true that the dirty work has never been lacking, but the killer instinct has long been lacking in the area and the agreement with Dzeko has not always worked. To this is added the need for Inter to raise money with the sale of a big player. The Taurus is among the most attractive, even for its age, but it must be shown that it would then be easy to replace it.

Quick setting

And not just because Toro often leaves their mark in derbies. After the mistake from the spot in the first leg of the championship, the redemption came tonight with a flying tracer at the start of the race that folded super Maignan’s hands. After all, Martinez is a microwave and heats up quickly. The last two goals scored in the first 5 minutes of the Milan derby were scored by him: the other on February 21, 2021. Today’s one (after 3 minutes and 1 second) was the fastest goal since start of a Milan derby from that of Vecino on 17 March 2019 (2:31), on Lautaro’s own assist. Furthermore, no one has scored more goals than Lautaro in the Milan derby since the Argentinian’s debut for the Nerazzurri in 2018-19: 5. And to close, Inter’s last two braces in a derby are his. The icing? With the feats of tonight – not bad even the touch from the winger for the 2-0 – Toro is with Sanchez the only one to have scored in four competitions this season.
