Inter have scored just nine goals in the last eight Serie A games. Their numbers have plunged compared to the previous stretch. They had netted 14 from Round One to Eight, and 21 in the past 8 ones. Their defense has improved, but not enough to offset the lack of production on the other end, Sky informs. Despite the return of Romelu Lukaku, they have been too dependent on Lautaro Martinez.
That’s been manifest result-wise too. Per Goal, El Toro hasn’t scored in six of their seven Serie A losses, and they have never slipped when he did in 2023. The only exception was the early one against Lazio. Romelu Lukaku has found the target twice in his last nine appearances. Edin Dzeko last did it in the first game of the year. Joaquin Correa has missed most of the recent matches due to a thigh problem.
The agent of Lautaro Martinez Alejandro Camano spoke about his client to TV Play.
“He’s a very serious player, a leader, and especially a true fan of the team. He has completely adapted to life in Milan and with the Nerazzurri. I think he talked that way after the Bologna game to take responsibility for playing in a team of this caliber.”
“He has several years on his contract. Everything hinges on his happiness and not on qualifying for the Champions League or winning the Scudetto. He’s there through thick and thin. The sense of belonging is very important. We are all professionals, but money isn’t the only think that matters. It’d be very nice if he could spend his entire career at Inter. However, we have to be realistic and acknowledge that football is different now compared to Javier Zanetti’s times.”
