Lautaro Martinez's Brace: "First Half to Erase, We Weren't Present"
Lautaro Martinez, Inter's captain, spoke to DAZN after the 2-2 draw with Roma, a match where his two goals secured a point in the second half. He expressed regret over the performance against Mazzola, an Inter and Italian football legend. Martinez stated the first half was one to forget, as the team lacked presence and the right attitude. The second half saw a shift in mentality, but he acknowledged the difficulty of recovering in such matches, calling the eventual point a good outcome.
When asked about the reason for the team's performance, Martinez pointed to attitude and proper match preparation. He noted that while they prepare thoroughly, their slow starts make games unnecessarily challenging.
Addressing Lionel Messi's imminent departure, Martinez anticipates an emotional evening, describing it as a spine-tingling moment given Messi's global impact on football. He acknowledged that football will lose an icon but stressed the importance of moving forward while cherishing his legacy.
Regarding his own fitness and performance, Martinez revealed he focused on his physical conditioning after a tough Club World Cup, where he felt he wasn't adequately prepared. This year, he prioritized his physical state, even after the World Cup. His primary focus remains on Inter, and he commits to giving his all for the team.
