Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez did not mince words with his inflammatory statement after the club’s underwhelming FIFA Club World Cup exit.
Per Tuttosport via FCInterNews, El Toro’s harsh comments on his wantaway clubmates have torn the dressing room apart.
Indeed, the scars from Inter’s dismal 5-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final are still fresh.
Furthermore, the Italian giants are still healing after Simone Inzaghi’s sudden decision to join Al-Hilal.
Frustration boiled over after Inter’s loss to Fluminense as Lautaro Martinez lashed out at his mates after the game.
Inter Milan Locker Room in Turmoil After Lautaro Martinez Comments
Lautaro may have only targeted Hakan Calhanoglu, but he inadvertently sent shockwaves through the entire dressing room.
Other players did not take El Toro’s outburst well.
Though the Turk is close to leaving, other players in question were supposed to be the core of the team next term.
Indeed, Marcus Thuram and Benjamin Pavard headline the list.
Then, there’s Davide Frattesi, who could also be on his way out after feeling threatened by the captain.
I won’t blame Lautaro for saying that.
Remember that Lautaro said more or less the same thing during Lukaku’s saga.
Lautaro is the one who defends this colour. He felt Lukaku backstabbed him. And now he is going through a similar situation.
I love Inzaghi, but how come you left your team (and also your captain) after that UCL disaster? Normally, after that huge loss, big wound or hurt, you need someone to stand, to care, to motivate you back, which should be the main coach’s task.
Now, without Inzaghi, it is the captain’s job to handle all those scars and pressure. It must be frustrating for him. So, I could see that he was in anger do to these reasons.
Lautaro should not have said that shit, especially when you are the captain.
WRONG! He said it what every single one of us feel about unmotivated lazy players. This will filter out uninterested players and keep the ones who are willing to fight for the colors.
He did the right thing bro! I am a Milan fan. I don’t make this statements to spite my brothers of on the blue corner, but the truth should be told. Calhanoflu is not the kinda person your team needs if it’s to dominate the world. You need hungry and loyal players. Calhanoflu has never been any! Ask Milan or even Sporting!!! the story is the same. He should f**koff that team, same with those who don’t have the Inter team in mind at present. It’s also best for them, maybe they will get their focus back. After all the captain spoke, what if he didn’t but management spoke it by their actions, as is happening in Milan. I bleed red ♥️ but I still stand by the culture and spirit coz we all Milan.
All player is tired physically and mentally after the long season and championships. Its time for them to take some rest to reduce the tension and feed their soul, while the management and Chivu are working to fix the problem and improve the squad.
