Lautaro Martinez

[Irequis]

Even if he played few minutes during the midyear tournament, it still cut a substantial time for a proper rest and it also took away important preseason training. Add mental fatigure and constant worldwide travelling to the mix, you would get an exhausted player who could not play at his 100 %.


Now it seems he will be absent for the City match. Considering his fitness and the recent form, I would regret allowing him to cut short his vacation to join us. He should take his time and even be allowed to have a custom preseason schedule for him. It sounds extreme but that is how important he is for us.

Ive really given up on this guy. I thought Copa would make him better. It made him MUCH worse.

But our club just cant attract Haaland level players, so we're stuck with him. It's sad because a lethal finisher would truly make us a top European side.

 

[Il Drago]

He's just dead tired. Guy didn't have a proper pre season and it shows.

 

[Fitzy]

Needs a few weeks off

 

[Alex de Large]

He is the father of Ac Milan, will score a couple this weekend and the bad run is over.

 

[vex]

He had an assist, but again I have to accentuate his horrible form. You can see it every time he runs, looks completely drained, and it's a month and a half since the season started. And ok he didn't have a proper rest, but this amount of off form is honestly unacceptable no matter the excuses.

And the reason why i m even here and criticizing him and not in some other player thread who maybe deserves it more for tonight's performance is because of how important he is for us and the way we play...

Yes give him two weeks of vacation please he is far from himself. Problem with Lauti is that he lives from confidence so these games will continue to harm him even more.

At least he got a goal contribution today. Still doesn’t look anywhere near his best.

We should be cognizant of the fact that Man City probably lost Rodri today for an extended period of time. All these games do add up. I can’t think of anyone who played in Copa America late stages tearing it up right now, besides Luis Diaz.

Not trying to make excuses. But it kind of is what it is. A fit Lautaro can masks a lot of flaws but he isn’t the reason we lost today.

Far from being the culprits of the loss. He had a decent game, but fans expect more from a captain and a talisman who receives annual 9 million salary.

 

[Damageplan]

The amount of travel and the lack of a real preseason really taking a toll. Needs some serious rest and recharge.

 

[Steevee]

I haven’t “fact checked” this… oh my. This is dreadful, if correct.

i woudnt be surrpised tbh, he was in pretty ass form at the tail end of alst season if i remember correctly

checking transfermarkt he's scored 1 goal for us since the end of Feb

 

[Fapuccino]

Holy fuck that's catastrophic

 

[.h.]

careful you're not allowed to say a bad word against HRH Lautaro on here

unless he scores soon e's really gonna ruin my argument that we should have kept arnautovic over esposito - since esposito now has more Serie A goals than Lautaro does this season

 

[Steevee]

Is Super Pippo still in charge st Salernitana or has he been fired from there too?

We could use a midweek friendly for our boy to get his shit together

 

[Universe]

1 goal in 17 games. Fucking T R A S H

 

[RickyMaravilla'sRightFoot]

Well he basically won us the league last year with 4/5 months of unplayable form. So let’s hope we can get one of those again at the some point this season.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Lautaro Martinez is set to increase the number of his training sessions and the time spent at Inter’s training centre.

This is a plan shared with coach Inzaghi and his staff to bridge the gap in physical condition that currently separates him from the rest of the squad.

Aware of his current poor form, Lautaro is reportedly open to Inzaghi’s decision not to always start him so that he can manage his energy wisely within a busy game schedule.

 

[DARi0]

His form was predictable:

Nice gesture to help Inzaghi but I'm a bit worried about him not properly recharging batteries... Let's see how this might affect his season

Looking back at it, it was not the wisest decision to call him back for the start of the season.
