A center forward doesn’t score a goal for several games and then scores more than one in a single game: a football classic. This also happened to Lautaro Martinezthe absolute protagonist of the match won yesterday by Inter 2-3 in Udine. The great absentee of the first days of the championship returns, with a brace, the usual deadly finisher.
It is no coincidence that almost all the publications opt for a 7.5 on the report card and the award for best in the field. Below, by way of example, is TMW’s opinion: “The missing goal weighs like a boulder. He looks for it and doesn’t find it, in the end Eupalla gives it to him and within three minutes (excluding half time) he scores a brace, to remove any doubt: he’s unblocked. Now, who knows, he’ll look back and notice that, despite all the hype, it was only six games.”
Slightly more severe is La Gazzetta dello Sport, which prefers to give 7 and judges the Argentine’s performance in this way: “He starts off very badly, missing a simple goal and continues with other errors. The 2-1 result unblocks him mentally. Nice encore “.
