Gian Piero Gasperini, joking and laughing after Roma-Inter, made it clear that he can’t take having Lautaro Martinez as an opponent anymore. “It’s incredible, but he should stop always scoring against us,” declared the Giallorossi coach. It was precisely the fury of the Nerazzurri captain that sparked the team on the field and started the comeback. A brace that testifies to the growth of the Argentine striker.
According to Tuttosport, at 29 years old as of August 22, Martinez has reached full maturity. The Argentine has learned to manage his physique and this, combined with the experience he has accumulated, has transformed him into a complete striker. He no longer just fills the penalty area, but also knows how to act as a playmaker for his teammates.
The evolution is also visible in the areas of the pitch he occupies during matches. Lautaro moves across the entire offensive front, offering different solutions compared to the past. His ability to adapt to situations makes him an indispensable element for Inter.
The most significant change concerns his performance in important matches. In the past, impulsiveness penalized him in big games, but working on himself has allowed him to turn frustration into aggression and clarity. On April 5, upon returning from injury, he dragged Inter out of crisis with an extraordinary performance against Roma at San Siro, crowned with a brace.
The captain has become the absolute point of reference for the team, capable of making an impact in the decisive moments of the season.
