Inzaghi Urges Calm for Goal-Drought Striker Lautaro Martinez

Inter Milan secured a 2-0 victory over Como at San Siro, with goals from Carlos Augusto and Marcus Thuram. Despite the win, captain Lautaro Martinez continued his goal-scoring drought, leading to visible frustration on the pitch. Head coach Simone Inzaghi addressed this, stating, "I was a striker; I know these moments happen. I told Lautaro to relax because he has always scored goals and always will. Luck will turn, and he should only be worried if he doesn't get scoring opportunities."

Inzaghi praised the team's performance, noting their focus and adaptability against a challenging opponent. He highlighted the contributions of Marcus Thuram, who now leads Serie A with 12 goals, and emphasized the importance of squad rotation given the demanding schedule ahead, including the Supercoppa and Club World Cup. Inzaghi expressed confidence in his 25-player squad, acknowledging their efforts despite the toll of their schedule.

The coach remains optimistic about Martinez's return to form, underscoring the striker's integral role in Inter's attacking lineup. Inzaghi's message to Martinez is clear: maintain composure, continue contributing to the team's efforts, and the goals will follow.
