Lautaro Martinez still a protagonist with Argentina and always on target. The Inter striker spoke to the microphones of Tyc Sports at the end of the match won 6 to 0 by his national team against Bolivia (the goal of the momentary 2-0 was his), commenting on his presence among the candidates for the Ballon d’Or: “I will be with my wife at the awards ceremony for the Ballon d’Or ‘Gold and I will go there with the same enthusiasm as always. I always say that the collective is above the individual, but I think that last year I had a spectacular year with Inter and I finished the season by winning the Scudetto and doing five goals in the Copa America therefore, I think I deserve to be there.”
But also to win the prize? To the question, Taurus responds like this: “I don’t want to say if I deserve it, but I’m happy and excited and we’ll see what happens that night,” he explained.
The same coach as Argentina Lionel Scaloni spoke at a press conference on the eve of the World Cup qualifying match against Bolivia to talk about Lautaro Martinez’s nomination for the Ballon d’Or: “He had a spectacular year, he scored in the Copa America final and was top scorer. He deserves it More than anyone, I hope he can win. He’s a guy I appreciate a lot, he’s been with us since minute one. The possibility will also be there going forward because he has a great future ahead of him.”
