Lautaro Martinez is poised to chase down the Serie A goals record, urging Inter to maintain their high standards following a commanding 4-0 triumph away to Lecce.
Regardless of how much Simone Inzaghi shuffles his squad, Inter exhibits a steadfast identity that remains unwavering. This resilience was palpable during their resounding 4-0 victory at the rain-soaked Stadio Via del Mare.
Martinez, who notched a brace during the match, reflected on the significance of the win, emphasizing Inter’s consistency and formidable performance across all competitions. He underscored the importance of sustaining their current form, recognizing that their journey is far from over.
With this feat, the Argentine striker becomes only the third foreign player in Inter’s history to surpass 100 Serie A goals, joining the ranks of Istvan Nyers and Mauro Icardi. Martinez attributed his success to his family and acknowledged the significance of each milestone, particularly his 100th goal.
Having consistently scored at least 20 goals in three successive Serie A seasons, Martinez sets his sights on potentially matching the league’s all-time single-season scoring record. However, he remains focused on the team’s success above personal accolades, emphasizing that his goals contribute to Inter’s quest for points.
Reflecting on Inter’s recent achievements, including their journey to the Champions League Final last season, Martinez acknowledges the team’s growth and maturity. However, he maintains that there is room for improvement, emphasizing the need to continually raise the bar in training sessions to further challenge themselves and enhance their performance under Inzaghi’s guidance.
