DBasia.news – FC Internazionale start to show their power. Recently, performing with the rotation strategy, Inter defeated Cagliari with a 2-0 score in the 7th Giornata of 2018-2019 Serie A, Sunday.
There were no big names like Milan Skriniar or Kwadwo Asamoah in the backfield in this match. Also, Matias Vecino, Marcelo Brozovic, and Ivan Perisic just hit the pitch in the second round.
As the bomber, Mauro Icardi was also benched. As the substitute, the new recruit Lautaro Martinez played as the starter. Spalletti specifically praised the squad depth in that success.
“When you have a bigger squad you can also choose 11 different starters to those who played the previous game. It is one of the most important things,” Spalletti said.
In this chance, Spalletti also praised Martinez’ contribution. As we know, the Argentinian player got criticized due to his under-expectation performance at the beginning of the season after showing the great potency in the pre-season friendly match.
But in the match defeating Cagliari, Martinez scored his first goal for the team. Spalletti also mentioned the 21-year-old player as the talented one.
“He has the strength to get the ball under control, turn around and move off and then he knows where he can pass the ball and pounces with force,” Spalletti said.
Furthermore, Spalletti believed the fact that Martinez’s training with a striker like Icardi will develop his performance. Moreover, Martinez and Icardi are close.
“I think training with Icardi is helping him to learn something about attacking the space, but he already had everything.”
“He is also a bit egotistical, such as when he went for goal and it was two against one, but that’s not a bad thing for a striker to be a little egotistical,” Spalletti added.
