Inter-Salernitana: the statements of Lautaro and Barella

Edin Dzeko does not take it, but the spotlights are taken tonight by those two. Because in the dark February of Inter, the Bosnian had played his part anyway, but Lautaro Martinez and Nicolò Barella seemed faded like old jeans. Instead of a sudden they returned to drag a team that has vented against the poor Salernitana, also rediscovering the desire to have fun and entertain.

“When I saw the crossbar – Lautaro says at the end of the race – I said ‘It’s not the day yet!’. Then my teammates were good at finding me on the moves. I thank Barella and all the others who have always been by my side in this. hard period. When I don’t score I go home sad, how much I missed goals and victory. I always try to give my best, when I can’t do it I don’t rest. Criticisms? They are part of the game. When things don’t go well, we have to stick together. Inzaghi always gives me confidence. On a personal level I have lived through a difficult period because the striker lives for the goal, the team needs this. I went out on the pitch with a lot of desire and anger, an important period for Inter and today we had to show a lot of things. We had lost a bit of nastiness and personality, today we played well. I dedicate the goals to my daughter Nina who just turned one. ” And just over a year ago Lautaro scored (at Crotone) the only hat-trick for the Nerazzurri. With that of tonight he rises to 51 goals in the league, that goal that he had been missing from action since December 17 against Salernitana and that was becoming a nightmare for Inter too, dry from 425 ‘despite 58 conclusions after Dzeko’s goal at Naples on February 12th.

The real Nic

If Lautaro in the last month had run in empty in front of goal while looking in good athletic condition, the real surprise of the evening was Barella. Yes, in recent releases he had also seemed drained of energy, with his opponents scouring him away as he had always done. Suddenly an iradiddio is back, tarantulated in the recovery of the ball, in the snatches and also in the assists. Because in addition to the two brilliant for the first goals, the Toro had at least as many assists. “I came from a strange period in which, besides not turning my legs, I didn’t get bets – says Nicolò -. I didn’t have to respond to criticisms, those are part of the game. Now I’m happy to have helped my teammates, for the victory. The championship is very open, let’s think about us and the fact that we have found our game again. I’m sorry not to be in Liverpool. It will be a great match and Vidal, who was one of the best in the first leg, will replace me in a great way. “
