The summer has not been particularly positive for Martín Montoya Torralbo, because of a football totally different from that in which he made it with the shirt of Barcelona. Tactics and training methods have held him back, by sliding it in the hierarchies of Roberto Mancini, so much that there was talk of a coach that was very disappointed with his performance. Now, however, he is ready to remove the doubts and show that he can be an important player for this Inter. This is the message that the agent of the player sends through this exclusive interview with our partner FcInterNews.
In Italy there is no shortage of criticism after a pre-season that was less than exciting: how is the player experiencing this moment?
“Martin is doing very well and is happy to be at Inter, the one he considers the best club in Italy. The pre-season was not easy, that’s true, but I think it’s normal because in Barcelona it was completely different. There’s a different school, while the tactic here is something else. I’m sure that soon he will be in the best shape for Inter.”
A resounding rumor on the transfer market in the last period claimed that Inter had thoughts of letting the player go: will he stay at Inter?
“Absolutely. Mancini believes in his abilities and in his way of playing, but I repeat: it takes time to adapt to a different kind of football than the Spanish. The tactics, the environment, training: everything changed for him compared to Barcelona. But Martin is focused on improving, there will be no problems.”
Are his difficulties of a physical or tactical nature?
“I think of a tactical nature, but if he does well he will play.”
How do you respond to the criticism of the last period?
“Martin is a very important player for Inter, he has experience and has won a lot in his career. In a short time everyone, fans, journalists and experts, will say that he is the best winger of the championship.”
