He simply looked exhaused through most of the time - no pressing, losing easily the ball, no creativity. Hope he will turn on his beast mode this week.

Cause if you earn enough you dont get exhausted and cant be overplayed?
Common now
?? The club who pays him that money has nothing to do with his exhaustion or overplay. It's matchday 4 in the club schedule.

Or you are suggesting we rest Lautaro to bring glory for Argentina?

Thats not the suggestion but the argument was he makes 9.5 mio how does that make him less exhausted?
Also he did play a shit ton of games for us the last two seasons while barely getting a break......
Like we all know he s over played and we all know that he s basically been playing the last 2 seasons with no breaks.

Wanna blame someone for his exhaustion blame Fifa for being greedy fucks and adding games left and right.

He chooses to play during summer, live with both his own decision and carry the responsibility of the club who pays him.

Your boss shouldn't care you dont finish your assignment because you took your side job yesterday. That's how all job works.

Dont forget Lautaro did choose to play Olympics too but we rejected right away.

Yeah cause a player saying no to representing their NT in a major tournament while in their prime is normal?
and as you your selfe pointed out he did not go to the olympics despite him wanting to go cause we said No....
Again please show me an example of a player in their prime who went like fuck the NT i need rest for the club?

Are we just setting ridiculous standards for our players so we can shit on them when they obviously dont live up to them?

Also again no acknowledging that we did overplay him the last two seasons cause we did no manage to sign a decent backup is on us... No like we did not know his schedule will most likely be insane.

Side note: if i was good enough at my job to represent fucken switzerland and my company at a WC my boss would jump of joy and let me go.
(full disclosure I am my own boss).

I guess what i want to say bashing a player cause he does what every fucken player would do in his situation seems weird to me.

Are we really overreacting over Lautaro's first 4 matches? 🤣

Fucking hell...talk about an overreaction.
Kind of agree but i think it s fair to say he does not look 100% fit atm and that he probably played a bit to much the last 2/3 years

Don't tell me to give an example of your ridiculous imaginary point. Inter matches is all I care. He can join Perisic in volleyball tournament but that's his own (and his fanboys) business.

You can represent whatever in your summer but try to miss on customers deadlines as soon as you return to work?

I m not even sure what the fuck you are arguing what imaginary point? Show me one footballer that says no to his NT for a big tournament thats it thats all...

I m not a professional athlete so i dont need down time for my body to recover... My point was more that inter also profits(exposure) from lauti being in the argie nt....
Again i m not sure what you expected lauti to do not go to the NT?

Inter doesn't get shit from him getting more exposure lol. He is getting profit (more salary) from that.

Again, I am criticising him for bad Inter performance. I dont wanna hear excuses because he played for Argie NT because he sat his wife too much last night because etc etc. that's not Inter fault. That's his own outsiding business. Why should I care for his NT?

Actually it is part of his employment that he plays for NT, it is like professionals attending conferences and writing professional exams, you cannot exclude that part.
I am pretty sure it is also in his contract that we have to let him play certain NT games.

Adriano@10, your posts regarding Lautaro are spot on. Unfortunately, for Inter at the moment, Lautaro is similar to a lemon with no juice.

This is not accurate, such negotiation is actually prohibited. Also, Fifa actually has a rule that club has to "let" their players play if called up in certain tournaments. But I agree with you.

It's ridiculous to compare football jobs to regular job in this case. It's not even comparable.

If you think inter does not profit from having a starting striker of the Arg NT i m not sure what to say.... ( at the very least you d have to agree that it increases his value)
Also i get your point all i m saying it s totally unrealistic to expect lautaro not to go and play for his NT..... and being exhausted cause you played a shit ton of football for both inter and your NT is a lot more acceptable than not being fit cause of some shit he did in his free time.

Also non of this means that he does not have to step up his performances.

How many minutes did he play in total in Copa? He seemed like he was a sub most of the time.

Fair enough he only played 221 minutes.... I d argue that being in such a tournament still adds to fatigue even if you dont play to much, thing is that lauti barely got a break the last 2/3 seasons.......
Also he did start the last two friendlies in september for Argentina.

Btw i m not saying he does not have to step up just that it s understandable to some degree.

Even if he played few minutes during the midyear tournament, it still cut a substantial time for a proper rest and it also took away important preseason training. Add mental fatigure and constant worldwide travelling to the mix, you would get an exhausted player who could not play at his 100 %.


Now it seems he will be absent for the City match. Considering his fitness and the recent form, I would regret allowing him to cut short his vacation to join us. He should take his time and even be allowed to have a custom preseason schedule for him. It sounds extreme but that is how important he is for us.

Ive really given up on this guy. I thought Copa would make him better. It made him MUCH worse.

But our club just cant attract Haaland level players, so we're stuck with him. It's sad because a lethal finisher would truly make us a top European side.
