Sparks on live TV: Gattuso attacks an Inter player, Lautaro Martinez explodes!

Milano –Despite the convincing victory of Inter in the last game, the echo of the controversy made itself felt stronger than the triple final whistle. Unexpectedly, the technical commissioner of the Italian national team, Gennaro Gattuso, turned on the fuse during a television commentary, openly criticizing a Nerazzurri player for “lack of determination”. But it was not only the criticism that the furious response of the Interista, Lautaro Martinez was not only the criticism:“Shut up and think about your business!”

Gattuso does not send them to say

During the post-match program aired on Rai, Gattuso, known for his temperament and frankness, commented on the performance of one of the players of Inter-whose name has not been made directly, but the clues seem to lead to a band midfielder-saying:
“With that mentality you don’t go far away. In the field you need hunger, you need anger. Someone in Inter has missed today.”

Strong words, especially from the national team coach, who according to some commentators could have been expressed in private, instead of being publicly hot.

The answer was not long in coming. In the mixed zone, Lautaro Martinez, the undisputed leader of the Nerazzurri locker room, replied in no uncertain terms:
“If there is someone who has to talk about my companions, he must do it in the face and in the locker room, not in front of the cameras. Gattuso? Shut up and think of your business …”

The hard tone of the Argentine bull has also surprised the journalists present, but testifies to the climate between the club and the national team, and above all the will of Inter to defend their men from any external attack.

Gattuso’s gesture could have aftermath. Some Inter managers would have already privately expressed their disappointment, considering that a national team coach intervenes in such a direct way on club issues, especially after a victory. On the other hand, Gattuso has never been a conventional technician, and he is not new to declarations of fire.

The fans, as always, are divided: there are those who support Gattuso, praising his honesty and his critical spirit, and those who instead take sides with Lautaro, defending the pride and unity of the Nerazzurri group. On social media, the hashtag#ZittoGattusoIt has already entered the trend.

With the European Championship and many Interists in the run for a place among the blue players, this clutch between Gattuso and Inter risks weighing. The Federation has not yet officially commented, but the episode could force the parties to a clarification, if not to a public confrontation.
