Recent criticism over his lackluster form has not gone down well with talismanic Inter center-forward Lautaro Martinez. Caught in a fierce discussion with a fan on Instagram, the Argentina international lost his temper.
“Remember that I always give everything for Inter. Like the World Cup year, when I had a destroyed ankle,” Martinez replied in a heated exchange with a fan on social media.
“But while others were preparing for a great World Cup, I was always on the field and didn’t miss a single training session until the Champions League final. I played all the matches like that. Always remember this before reminding me who pays me.”
It’s been a disappointing season for the Inter superstar. He has failed to score in seven of his 11 Serie A appearances this term. That’s a significant markdown to a league-high 24 goals in the club’s title-winning 2023/24 campaign.
However, Inter have immensely profited from Martinez’s goals. After a match-winning brace at Udinese, the 27-year-old netted decisive goals in a pair of 1-0 victories against Roma and Venezia. That’s still a far cry from his red-hot form last term.
