Italian Journalist Praises Inter Milan Captain After Impressive Genoa Performance: “Master Inside The Penalty Area” | OneFootball

Italian journalist Marco Bucciantini hailed Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez after Sunday’s win over Genoa.

Speaking to Sky Calcio Club via FCInter1908, Bucciantini identified El Toro as a fox in the box.

Lautaro Martinez stole the spotlight in yesterday’s dramatic victory at Stadio Luigi Ferraris.

Indeed, the 28-year-old striker slotted home a delightful left-footed strike after assisting Yann Bisseck for the opening goal.

It was his eighth goal in Serie A this season, firing him to the top of the scoring charts after 15 rounds.

Furthermore, the Argentine megastar has now scored in three consecutive league appearances for the first time this term.

Buoyed by a match-winning performance at the Marassi, Lautaro will look to help Inter secure Supercoppa Italiana glory in Saudi Arabia.

Cristian Chivu’s side will take on defending Coppa Italia champions Bologna in a handsomely-looking semi-final tie on Friday.

Meanwhile, Napoli and AC Milan will square off in the second semi-final clash a day earlier.

Despite a rough start to the season, Lautaro has rediscovered his scoring instincts.

Indeed, El Toro has already tallied 13 goals in all competitions, adding five Champions League goals to his eight-goal Serie A haul.

Yesterday, he powered home a stunning finish with his weaker left foot, leaving Nicola Leali chanceless.

Lautaro’s well-documented scoring prowess drew plaudits from Bucciantini during the latest episode of Sky Calcio Club.

“In the penalty area, Lautaro is the boss,” the Italian journalist was adamant.

“When he strikes the ball, it always goes exactly where it should. He’s got the goal in his bedroom.

“Wherever he turns, the ball ends up in the net.”

Adding to this sentiment, Lautaro achieved a massive feat against Genoa.

Indeed, he became only the fourth player across Europe’s top-five leagues to make 10+ goal contributions in seven consecutive seasons.
