Lautaro Martínez Criticizes Inter Milan’s Performance After Club World Cup Defeat
The captain of Inter Milan, Lautaro Martínez, didn’t hold back after the 2-0 defeat against Fluminense, criticizing the lack of energy shown by the team in their elimination from the Club World Cup. Inter were surprised by a resilient Fluminense, and the Italians barely generated any danger until the final stages of the match. This situation left the Argentinian striker frustrated, who urged his teammates to show greater commitment.Martínez emphasized the need to have players committed to the club and who understand the importance of the jersey they wear. Inter arrived at the Club World Cup with aspirations, but their performance was irregular, with a narrow victory over Urawa Red Diamonds and a draw against Monterrey. The elimination in the round of 16 adds to a disappointing season, without national titles and a heavy defeat in the Champions League final. The Inter captain added that the season was long and exhausting, and that they finished without titles. Martínez apologized to the fans who traveled to support the team and reaffirmed his commitment as captain to keep the team at the top. Inter will begin their Serie A campaign in August, facing Torino at home.I want to fight for important titles. Whoever wants to stay at Inter, fine, let them fight. But whoever doesn’t want to, let them leave.
