Javier Zanetti praised Lautaro Martínez, shares future wish | OneFootball

Javier Zanetti, Inter Milan’s vice president, highlighted Lautaro Martínez’s importance to the team and also expressed his desire for him to remain at the club, after winning Serie A for the 21st time following a 2-0 victory over Parma.

“He has the sense of belonging that a captain of a club like Inter needs. We hope he stays at the club,” said the iconic former full-back in an interview with ESPN.

The Argentine executive praised the striker highly and revealed: “We already sensed it when we went to get him from Racing at a young age.” He also emphasized that he has what it takes to be the leader of a big team like Inter.

Lautaro Martínez won his third Scudetto with the club and, therefore, could also match that total in Coppa Italia titles this season. On the horizon, he also has the World Cup, and Zanetti did not shy away from speaking about the upcoming tournament for the Argentina national team.

“I see them doing very well. After what happened in Qatar, they maintained their level, and the emergence of the young players, along with the serious work of (Lionel) Scaloni, is preparing the team to aim for another final,” he said.

Lastly, the Inter executive spoke about the title they won: “Happy about the title we achieved last night; we were coming off a hard blow last year with the Champions League. I think Chivu did a tremendous job.” And he concluded: “Success comes from the work that can be done at a club like Inter. Every project takes time; we have won three league titles with three different coaches, and that is because there is a strong foundation.”
