For several seasons now, Lautaro Martinez has established himself as one of the very best strikers in the world. Very prolific with Inter Milan, the Argentinian is still in great form this season. Forming an explosive duo with Marcus Thuram, the Argentinian has six goals and four assists in twenty appearances. A less rosy result than usual for the 27-year-old striker who spoke at length to Corriere della Sera. The opportunity for him to explain that he considers himself underestimated, as evidenced by his seventh place in the Ballon d’Or despite a sensational season last year.
“I am a striker and I live for the goal, but you also have to analyze the type of game you play. I help the team progress and that also benefits Thuram. After winning the Copa América, I returned from vacation a few days early: the body sometimes presents you with a “bill”. (…) I sometimes feel underestimated, but collective trophies have another value. Seventh place in the Ballon d’Or doesn’t weigh on me, I had an important year. I want it all, because when you start winning, you don’t want to stop. Inzaghi? He too is underestimated, he continues to think like a footballer. With him, I feel like I have grown to a very high level.»
