Calhanoglu in the center of the storm: Gattuso defends him, fans of Furious Inter

New storm in the locker room of Inter. After the declarations at the Vitriolo of Lautaro Martinez against Hakan Calhanoglu, Gennaro Gattuso spoke to defend the Turkish midfielder, feeding even more the internal tensions to the Nerazzurri team.

The Italian technician did not use minor terms:“Inter are dealing with Calhanoglu in an unfair way. You can’t always take the parts of Lautaro just because he is the captain. Hakan deserves respect for what he did on the field.”These words immediately divided public opinion, with many who consider Gattuso brave in taking a position.

But it’s not over here. Calhanoglu himself thought about definitively exploded the controversy, which issued a surprising statement:“Only Milan really respected me, I never heard the same respect at Inter.”A phrase that infuriated thousands of Nerazzurri fans on social media, many of whom ask for the immediate transfer of number 20.

The tension between Calhanoglu and Lautaro seems to have reached a point of no return. According to internal sources, the relationship between the two has been crossed for months, with divergences on the field and in the locker room. Lautaro, the charismatic leader of the team, would have criticized his partner’s attitude, accusing him of little commitment in decisive games.

On the other hand, Calhanoglu has always felt marginalized and not very valued, despite his solid performance in recent seasons. The comparison with the period passed to Milan has frequently returned to his declarations, an evident sign of a malaise never resolved.

For now, the company has chosen not to expose itself publicly, but the pressure of the fans and the growing internal rift could force the management to make a clear decision in the coming weeks.

Meanwhile, Gattuso concludes his defense with an emblematic phrase:“A winning team is not built without mutual respect.”A light message directed not only to Inter, but to all Italian football.
