Inter goal scorer Lautaro Martinez outlined to an Italian TV broadcaster that his and the teams attention will now turn to the derby next weekend immediately after the win against Lazio.
Speaking to Inter TV after the win where he scored the third goal in this evenings victory to send Inter to the top of the table, Lautaro Martinez highlighted his focus is now on next weeks crunch derby with AC Milan.
“We go game by game, now there’s the derby. We lost matches in the league, it wasn’t easy in the Coppa Italia, we have to prepare it well to do our job” explained Martinez.
Lautaro scored the third goal for Inter to regain a two goal lead after Lazio had got themselves back into the game but couldn’t recall it when asked to.
“I don’t remember, a counter with Romelu against two opponents, I called for it, he passed it to me and I scored.
“Then we all rejoiced together because it is something we feel so much, we are united and today we have shown character and game of team.
“We were compact, we hurt Lazio” added Martinez when asked on how his goal came about.
