Inter striker Lautaro Martinez has sang the praises of Nerazzurri captain Mauro Icardi for the job he carries out as captain.

“As captain he deserves ten points. Whenever a problem arises or something needs to be arranged by someone like the captain, then he is always there. He helps out and every time a new signing arrives he always tries to integrate them within the squad, helping him with everything they need,” Martinez explained in an interview with Fox Sports Argentina.

The Argentine youngster also denied media reports that he was left out of the Argentina World Cup squad as Jorge Sampaoli had told him he was not quick enough.

“Sampaoli never told me I was slow,” he confirmed.
