Inter coach Cristian Chivu looked irritated during a training session on Wednesday, when a person in the stands urged Lautaro Martinez to score in competitive matches: ‘Respect or go to Milanello.’
Inter coach Chivu hit back at a person, probably a Nerazzurri supporter, on Wednesday, during a training session at the Pinetina.

As reported by Corriere dello Sport, the training session was not open to regular fans, but just to a group of sponsors and Inter Club representatives.
At some point, Lautaro Martinez scored a goal, and a person in the stands shouted at the Argentine, telling him to do the same during a competitive match “on Sunday.”
Chivu, as shown in a video published by Gazzetta, didn’t take it well and hit back: “Please respect those who work here,” said the Nerazzurri boss.

“I don’t want to hear about Sunday or other things. Otherwise, you go to Milanello. We work here, we work to improve.”
Inter have earned six points in the opening four games of the season and beat Ajax 2-0 in their Champions League opener.
Their next league game is against Cagliari tomorrow.
