Inter Milan Coach Loses Patience At Training: Defends Captain After Fan Remark | OneFootball

Inter Milan head coach Cristian Chivu clashed with a supporter during a training session after a remark made to Nerazzurri captain Lautaro Martinez.

According to the Corriere dello Sport, on Wednesday a fan shouted at Lautaro “Now do it on Sunday, too” after the captain scored in training.

Chivu was not very happy with the supporter and responded:

“Please, respect these players who are working. I don’t want to hear about Sunday or anything else!”

The reports claim that after Chivu’s comments, other supporters cheered and applauded the coach.

Martinez will return to the starting eleven this week for the first time since the Derby d’Italia defeat to Juventus two weeks ago.

The Argentine felt some pain in his back over the last fortnight and was rested against Ajax in the Champions League.

Furthermore, he only appeared as a substitute in the 2-1 win over Sassuolo last weekend.
