It didn’t take long for Lautaro Martinez to make an impact during Argentina’s match against Nicaragua, the Inter striker came on as a substitute and scored two goals. Following the game he spoke to ESPN:”I’m practicing the best way possible, I want to be present in Copa America. It’s a nice thing to have opportunity to show your worth. Who are my idols? I don’t have any but I like many players. I watched videos of Falcao at River, I see myself in the way he attacks the goal but he doesn’t drop back like I do”
Martinez was asked about his former club:”I’m not a Racing fan, but I stayed in contact with many on the team: they made me feel like I was born there. Military told me that when he retired it was my time. I was a shy and reserved person, but I learned by observing the older players”.
