Inter posted a video highlighting the early goals scored by Argentine striker Lautaro Martinez with a post on Twitter yesterday.

The 22-year-old Argentine star, who is contracted to the Nerazzurri until 2023, has been a core part of coach Antonio Conte’s squad this season and has shone under the former Chelsea and Juventus boss. He has made 31 appearances across all competitions, for a total of 2437 minutes. In that time, he has scored 16 goals and provided four assists.

Inter posted the video alongside the caption: “Toro Martinez scored often in the first minutes of the game: do you remember his “fastest” goal with Inter? Today’s programming of Inter TV is dedicated to him.”

Inter full back Danilo D’Ambrosio showed himself training in a post on his Instagram page yesterday.

The 31-year-old Italian, who is contracted to the Nerazzurri until 2021, has often been deployed by coach Antonio Conte this season, being able to play in multiple roles including as a central defender or as a wing back. Since Christmas, however, he has struggled to earn consistent minutes, only playing seven minutes in Serie A in 2020.

D’Ambrosio posted a video of himself exercising with teammate Roberto Gagliardini alongside the caption: “Mood! Better to do it in a car.”

Former Inter defender Francesco Colonnese discussed Inter forward Lautaro Martinez in an interview with Italian media outlet FcInter1908 earlier today.

“First of all, in my opinion he’s the player who has improved more than the entire squad this season compared to last year. Under Spalletti’s management he was almost a problem, while this year he became the most important player in Conte’s 3-5-2. The typical second striker that allows you to play that way. He’s fast, he’s mean, he scores goals, he helps the team, he holds the ball up and he also acts as a link between departments. Strong and very young. In my opinion, Inter must try at all costs to keep him. I don’t see many strong young players with those characteristics out there.”

Colonnese then discussed how Inter need to keep Lautaro if they are looking to build a strong squad that can fight for both the league title and the Champions League.

“And you have to consider that Lukaku needs a forward like Lautaro alongside him. In my day there were many with those characteristics, now there aren’t many. If Inter wants to build a great team, they have to keep Martinez. It’s clear there’s an important clause, and maybe in the face of certain offers it might be difficult to keep him. But I say Inter would do well to keep him.”

He spoke about the possibility of exchanging Lautaro for French forward Antoine Griezmann, who has struggled to settle in Barcelona since his arrival last summer.

“I know Griezmann very well, since I often follow my friend Simeone’s Atletico Madrid. In that 4-4-2, he was the ideal player. He could be a solution. Griezmann made a difference in Spain, but Italy is something else. I like him, but he’s not exactly a second striker like Conte wants. He played a little wide in Atletico, almost on the wings. He was good at creating space and scoring goals. I don’t know if he would suit the 3-5-2 Conte likes.”

Finally, Colonnese spoke about Inter coach Antonio Conte and whether he is a good fit for the Nerazzurri.

“I never would have imagined it, he knows my Inter well. It’s absurd, but life is good for that. He took to the job brilliantly. He’s a professional and he’s also made it clear he’s supporting the team he coaches. He’s proving he deserves Inter. We’re very happy that he’s understood how beautiful the Nerazzurri environment is, because some from the outside doesn’t realize it. The fact that he’s so overwhelmed by Inter says a lot about the fans’ love for this team. I also remember during my matches the stadium was always full.”

The 29-year-old Griezmann, who is contracted to the Blaugrana until 2024, has struggled to shine in Catalonia with Barcelona this season. The player has made 37 appearances across all competitions, for a total of 2951 minutes. In that time, he has scored 14 goals and provided four assists.

Barcelona are incredibly keen to sign Lautaro in the upcoming summer transfer window, as they believe that he would be the perfect replacement for the aging Luis Suarez, who is currently sidelined with a serious injury.

A report from Italian media outlet FcInterNews has contradicted the reports from Spain that Inter striker Lautaro Martinez has already agreed to join Barcelona.

The report details how the Argentine striker hasn’t agreed to join the Blaugrana and hasn’t refused a contract offer from Inter. On the contrary, Lautaro is happy in Milan and hasn’t currently made a decision yet about his future, wanting to wait until the end of the ongoing Coronavirus emergency. He would also be happy to sign a contract renewal with the Nerazzurri but would like a hefty wage increase.

The late time the player’s agents were in Milan was in December, the report continues, in a simple courtesy visit to see their client. They had planned to return to Milan a few months later to meet Inter to negotiate a new agreement, but the Coronavirus emergency put a total stop to any talks. Both Lautaro and his agents are confused and surprised about the reports from Spain.

Former Inter striker Robert Acquafresca discussed his career and move away from the Nerazzurri in an interview with Italian journalist Nicolò Schira on Instagram Live earlier today. His words were noted by Italian media outlet FcInterNews.

“After Toro’s failure, Milan, Juve and Inter, Samp and Palermo wanted me. I chose the Nerazzurri because they had the most important project for me. They took me and put me into co-ownership, Chievo and Treviso were in the running, I chose Treviso.”

He spoke about how he could have been in the Treble winning squad.

“That summer I was owned by the Nerazzurri, but I didn’t want to be treated like a postal package anymore. José Mourinho wanted me back in Milan and the team had expressed this intention, I was already looking for a house in the San Siro area. Piero Ausilio wanted me in the four forwards, I could have won the Treble.”

The 32-year-old Italian then touched on how he was forced to sign for Genoa in the summer of 2009, despite his wishes.

“At first, I was to go on loan to Genoa, but then Marco Branca wanted to sell me. He made me lose out and be sold to Genoa, while I wanted to stay in Cagliari at that point. Branca threatened to send me out of the squad if I didn’t accept Genoa… I could’ve been an asshole with Inter and put my foot down to stay. I turned 21 and I’d come from 25 goals in Serie A in two years.”

Acquafresca confirmed that the reason he left Inter was because of Marco Branca, not other executives at the club.

“They’d never put me out of the squad like they threatened. I chose to not to stay in heaven in spite of the saints. Mourinho made the joke that I had scored for him on the first leg and on the return, Ausilio wanted me and Moratti had good words to say about me. So, it was Branca who didn’t want me, I’ve thought about it many times, but it’s water under the bridge.”

The former Inter forward then spoke about a conversation that he had with Jose Mourinho.

“We met again at the Bernabeu. At the end of the first half we started chatting, it was great, we exchanged numbers. He really is number one from a human point of view and for his charisma.

“He makes you feel number one, he gives importance and respect to everyone equally. He treats you as if you were a friend, for him the person comes before the player.

“Whether your name is Ronaldo or Acquafresca, that’s his strength. It’s no coincidence that his players would give their lives for him.”

Finally, Acquafresca spoke about current Inter coach Antonio Conte and his qualities as a leader.

“The coach is really an incredible leader, then there was Ventrone. Their training is really tough. There were big problems in Bergamo that year and things didn’t go well for both of them, but you could already see what he was made of.”

Acquafresca has been a free agent since last summer, after his contract expired with Swiss side Sion, where he only made seven league appearances in two seasons. The 32-year-old shone most in Sardinia with Cagliari, where he spent two spells in loan. For the Rossoblu, Acquafresca scored 35 goals and provided five assists in 109 appearances.

Former Inter forward Hernan Crespo discussed his career and time with Inter in an interview in today’s print edition of the French magazine France Football.

“The pleasure of playing in the Champions League is already a goal. With Parma it was special because it was the first and only qualification of the club.

“Then I played others with other clubs like Lazio, Inter, Chelsea, Milan. With AC Milan I remember it necessarily, that match marked the history of the Champions League and football.

“The final in Istanbul against Liverpool, 3-0 to 3-3. But there are also other good memories, the first goal with Parma against Galatasaray, the header with Inter against Ajax.”

He revealed that he never wanted to leave Inter and if his time in England with Chelsea was difficult.

“I have to be honest, I didn’t want to leave Inter. I wanted to stay, I’d bought a house ten days earlier, but for financial reasons, Inter had decided to sell me.

“My dream was to play in Italy, I had never thought or dreamed of playing in the Premier League and when I got there, I finally had a lot of fun! It was great, really two excellent years with a good relationship with the Blues fans.”

Crespo touched on how he enjoyed playing in England and how his childhood dream was to play in Italy.

“I really enjoyed the culture and mentality of English football and today it is the best league in the world. But, like the Champions League, it was a late love! As a child I dreamed of Italy.

“But I’m very grateful for that experience and the challenge was to allow the club to win, the satisfaction of winning the Premier League was overwhelming.”

Finally, Crespo spoke about which players are really impressing him today.

“There is already Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo who are on a different level than the others. Then there are players that I like a lot like Robert Lewandowski, Karim Benzema, Luis Suarez, if we are only talking about number 9s, because if we talk about players who have a particular vision, they can play.

“A player who suffers a bit due to his transfer fee but he has to adapt, and has incredible intelligence, is Antoine Griezmann. He won a world cup, he understands the game in an incredible way, in Barcelona, we have not yet seen his best version.

“He accepted the challenge, with a completely different philosophy, it will take time. But there are many players I love, I didn’t mention the Argentinians, like Sergio Aguero, Gonzalo Higuain, Lautaro Martinez.”

Crespo spent many seasons in Milan with the Nerazzurri, across the latter half of his career. In that time, he made 116 appearances across all competitions, for a total of 7018 minutes. In that time, he scored 45 goals and provided seven assists, being a popular figure at the club.

He won three league titles with Inter, as well as two Supercoppa Italiana. The only other league title he won in his career was with Chelsea in the 2005/06 campaign.

Former Inter defender Marco Materazzi discussed his career, the Italian national team and some of the best players he played against in an interview with Italian journalist Nicolò De Vitiis on Instagram Live earlier today. His words were noted by Italian media outlet PassioneInter.

First, he created his strongest possible starting 11 of players he’s played with or against.

“In goal 50% Buffon and 50% Julio Cesar. In defense Samuel, Chivu, Maicon and Cannavaro. Then Cristiano Ronaldo, Figo, Stankovic and Gattuso in midfield. Up front I put Messi and Eto’o.”

Matrix spoke about former teammate Maicon.

“He was very strong, a colossus. He gave the best to Inter.”

He discussed the fun times he had with the national team and his teammates.

“I was making a beautiful mess, but everyone did a bit. It’s easier to say who kept quiet. After the games it was always a party, we were a great squad. Pirlo? How many jokes with Gattuso. He always seems quiet but he’s very clever, very clever.”

Materazzi discussed what he said to French star Zinedine Zidane in the 2006 World Cup final, right before the player headbutted him.

“It felt like a big bang, I didn’t want to take yet another scolding from Gattuso and so I held his shirt. He responded and that’s what happened, luckily, I didn’t expect it otherwise I would have had an early shower too. He asked me if I wanted his shirt, I told him I wanted his sister.”

He spoke about how it is important for the relevant organisations to punish fans who insult or cheer against specific groups or players.

“In all the stadiums they sang against me ‘son of a bitch’, judges don’t understand anything. Everybody’s being all morale about this racism thing.

“You have to punish everybody, you have to close the Curva even for normal insults. Chants are always doing it to annoy the other side, I used to get angry. Why can they wind up me or Balotelli? If you sing against Neapolitans they close the Curva, if you sing against the Genoans they close the Curva.

“Even if it means the end of football because there will be no more fans. You have to ignore them, otherwise there are cameras and they don’t enter the stadiums anymore. It has to be like that in all the stadiums, otherwise the judges are clowns and cowards.”

The Italian touched on which three players were most difficult to play against.

“I’ve always said Cruz, he drove me crazy. The top three are the Inzaghi, Ibrahimovic, Trezeguet, they can always score goals against you.”

Materazzi discussed what he misses about football.

“Setting foot in the San Siro, your legs go by themselves. It’s the most beautiful stadium in the world.”

He spoke about which current players he likes the most.

“I really like Bastoni. There’s also Bonucci, a great pity that he’s in the wrong team. I told him it’s time to win something.”

Finally, Materazzi spoke about the future of the Italian national team and next summer’s European Championship.

“I also like Barella, Zaniolo and Chiesa. Chiesa is one of those that I would beat, because he is very strong but sometimes stressed. But I like him very much. With these talents we must return to winning, as Mancini said. First European Championship and then the World Cup.”
