The news of Lautaro Martinez’s exclusion from the nominees for The Best Man Player award organized by Fifa has not been received well by Inter. The displeasure of the club was expressed by the president Beppe Marotta in an interview conducted by Ansa.
This is the outburst of Inter’s number one: It is surprising and disappointing that Lautaro Martinez was not considered among the candidates for the Fifa’s The Best Man player after an exceptional season.
Then, Marotta justified the reasons for his intervention: His extraordinary performances helped lead Inter to a historic milestone and the Argentinean national team to the victory of the Copa America. He was the top scorer in both competitions. Lautaro deserves more respect and greater recognition. This exclusion seems to ignore not only the numbers and successes, but also the impact he has had in decisive matches. This is a negative signal, players who stand out in such a significant way should be rewarded. We hope that in the future, the proper recognition will be given to those, like Lautaro, who continue to shine on the field.
