Ventola: “Inter-Milan ends 3-1. I hear absurd things about Lautaro. Leao? The goals remain few”

“Inter are favourites against Milan, but in general they are favourites against everyone”. Word of Nicholas Windwho on the eve of the derby speaks about it like this Allsports. A derby, scheduled for tomorrow at 8.45pm at the Giuseppe Meazza stadium in San Siro, which for the former Nerazzurri striker should be a one-way street: “At the moment I see too much of a gap, for me it ends 3-1 for Inter. The decisive players? Calhanoglu for the Nerazzurri, Morata for Milan”.

During the chat, Ventola dwells on the delicate moment of Lautaro Martinezwho has yet to find the back of the net this season, after being the top scorer at the last Copa America: “Without summer preparation, it takes much longer to get into shape. He’s not at his best, but the player is beyond discussion: I hear absurd things being said.”

On the opposite front, one of the themes is Raphael Leao: “I have always defended him – says Ventola – for me he can aspire even higher than Milan. But the years go by and the goals remain few: I expect him to be more of a leader, he cannot have certain aloof attitudes during the match. If you don’t defend, you have to be decisive: Leao is with the small teams. I hope he understands this”.
