Lautaro Martinez has urged his Inter teammates to bounce back from Sunday’s gut-wrenching loss to AC Milan.
According to FCInter1908, Lautaro Martinez took to social media to encourage his clubmates after a disappointing derby result.
Milan staged an upset at San Siro last night, beating old foes Inter 1-0 to climb to second in the Serie A standings.
Despite failing to beat the Rossoneri for the sixth time in a row, the Nerazzurri put on another dominant performance.
Unfortunately, a string of misfortunate events prevented Cristian Chivu’s side from taking points in the 183rd edition of the Derby della Madonnina.
Indeed, Inter hit the woodwork twice before halftime, with Marcus Thuram and Lautaro being denied by the frame of the goal.
Furthermore, Hakan Calhanoglu missed only his second penalty in Serie A, with Mike Maignan getting the better of the former Milan star.
As a result, Chivu’s men have slipped to fourth in the table, falling two points adrift of pacesetters Roma.
Lautaro Martinez Urges Inter Teammates to Recover from AC Milan Heartbreak
There’s no time to dwell on the past, with Inter traveling to Spain to take on Atletico Madrid on Wedensday.
After winning their first four Champions League games under Chivu, they’re on the cusp of securing automatic last-16 qualification.
However, last night’s disappointment threatens to dampen the Nerazzurri’s spirits ahead of this daunting-looking road trip.
Meanwhile, El Toro refuses to let Sunday’s setback knock him off the rails.
“As always, get back up and move forward,” the 28-year-old wrote on social media in the aftermath of Inter’s derby defeat.
Despite registering another scoring blank in Serie A, Lautaro has been in scintillating form on the continental stage.
Indeed, he has netted four goals in three Champions League appearances this season.
Therefore, Inter’s hopes of taking all three points at the Metropolitano Stadium could hinge on Lautaro’s ability to maintain his superb European run.
There comes a time when reflection is needed. How many games Inter will lose before they start realizing they are overconfident. Lautaro overweight, Augusto is not a right winger so nothing came from the right hand side like Inter was paralyzed. Chivu time will be over soon. Inter not winning a trophy this year.
Agree,
Lautaro should be rested for at least two weeks each time he comes back from international
duties…he is so heavy and predictable.
Sommer’s days as reliable goalkeeper are over…needs to go … NOW !
Acerbi needs a stem cell treatment.
Thuram needs to leave the team and open a Hair Salloon.
I would fire all of them with exception of Hakan , Barrella, Mhiki, Bastoni and Susic.
I am so mad that we lost to all three top competitors !?
