The Argentinian Lautaro Martinez, forward of Inter de Milan, warned this Wednesday that the Seville, rival of the Milanese team this Friday in the final of the Europa League, he came many times to the last act of the continental tournament and that “it is no coincidence”, but the fruit of the “great football” he practices.
“Sevilla is a tough opponent, who pressures and plays great football. That is why he is in the final. We must study, train and prepare as we have done for all previous games. We have to limit their strengths, “Lautaro said in an interview with the UEFA.
“They reached many finals, it is not by chance, it means that they are a serious team, a team that plays well. We must be focused on ourselves. We are focused on our work, on how important it would be to lift a trophy after a long time. We are very close, we have the possibility of achieving it, “he added.
Lautaro will be one of the great threats of Sevilla this Friday in Cologne with the Belgian Romelu lukaku, with which it forms an explosive pair that has already 54 goals total, 21 for the Argentine and 33 for Lukaku.
El Toro considered that much of the credit for his growth goes to coach Antonio Conte.
“I will always be grateful to Conte. He is a coach who trusts me and has helped me grow. It has helped me change my mind. He has not done it only with me, he has done it with the whole group, “he said.
He also recognized his great motivations to lift what would be the first trophy of his career.
“On a personal level I want to win my first trophy with Inter, it would be something special. It's my first final and it would be the first trophy of my career, “he said.
