Inter’s Argentine striker on his possible attacking partner: “Edin likes to have the ball, he comes to meet and connect the game with his teammates, while Lukaku prefers to attack spaces and carries the defenders behind him so as to create space for his teammate “
Even before Appiano Gentile caught fire with the avalanche of declarations typical of Media Day towards the Champions League final, Lautaro Martinez was intercepted by UEFA for some declarations projected towards Istanbul. Particularly interesting, given the ballot in the starting line-up, is his explanation of the feeling he has with Lukaku and Dzeko: “They are two different players. Edin likes to have the ball, he comes to meet and connect the game with his teammates, while Romelu prefers to attack spaces and carries the defenders behind so as to create space for the other attacker. I get on very well with both. I try to adapt to them and what the team needs. If I have to attack the space to free up the field for Edin, I do it without problems, the same goes for Lukaku.”

And in the face of Manchester City, Toro will not tremble: “There is no doubt that they are one of the best teams in the world. They play a football that I really like and they will certainly be a very tough opponent to face. But throughout the Champions League we have already faced tough teams and we have played very well. We have to enjoy this game so that you don’t play a Champions final every day. It is a dream come true for us, all we have left to do is work hard and play as best as possible And we hope that the better team can win, with us lifting the trophy at the end of the game.” Finally, praise for Simone Inzaghi: “It’s always important to know how you want to play and understand the coach’s ideas. Continuing to change doesn’t mean that things are going well: when you have a clear idea, you study the games and the opponents, the things become simpler. We are very happy with the coach because he works very well and prepares the matches well. From a mental point of view, however, these matches don’t need stimuli due to the importance of the match.”

Then Lautaro also spoke to Appiano Gentile: “I’m experiencing a wonderful, important period. For me and for my family. I’ve always given my best since I’ve been at Inter, we’ve brought so many trophies and now we can live a dream We are one step away, one last effort is missing, we are ready for this week to better prepare for this match which is the most important of our career. We must give 120%. We must be concentrated for 120 minutes, from the coach until the referee blows his whistle for the match. The details make the difference, we have to leave our soul and heart on the pitch. We have to enter the pitch knowing what we have to do. It will be a very important match for all of us, we have to be calm and enjoy this match.” . The ups and downs of the season, however, must end with a trajectory that tends towards the sky, upwards: “Our season went like this in the league, we weren’t who we are. In the Champions League we made a long and difficult journey. We have to be the ones of the last two months: we have put the championship in order, won the Super Cup and the Italian Cup and we are missing the last step. We have to pull everything out to bring the trophy to Milan, they too they have to worry about Inter.”
