At 7:30 a.m. Beijing time on September 10, Argentina welcomed the challenge of Bolivia in the 2022 Qatar World Cup qualifiers, and Messi scored a wonderful goal with his personal ability in the first half. In the second half, Messi once again scored another goal with his world-class cooperation and personal extreme ability with his teammates. This time, Messi and Lautaro hit the wall for 2 consecutive times to tear apart the Bolivian defense, Messi received the ball in the middle of the road, cleverly dunked over, and immediately pushed his right foot to break the goal, which was so beautiful!
It was Messi's 78 goals for Argentina, breaking Pele's South American national team scoring record and Suarez's 24-goal World Cup South American goal record. Most people give all the glory to Boss May, but there is one person who played an indispensable role in the past Copa America, or today's World Cup, and he is Lautaro. Martinez.
Born on August 22, 1997 in Puerto Blanca, Argentina, he plays as a striker, born in his hometown team Linières Athletic, and entered the academy of the Argentine Super League team Inc. in 2014. In the 2017 South American Youth Championship, the 19-year-old Lautaro came to the fore, winning the Golden Boot of the tournament with 5 goals and leading the Argentine national youth team to the U20 World Cup as the team's attacking core.
After three years of training, in the summer window of 2018, following in the footsteps of Sanetti, Milito and other predecessors, Lautaro joined the renaissance-minded Serie A giants Inter Milan with a record transfer record of 27 million euros, and took over the No. 10 shirt, as well as a penalty of up to 111 million euros, which shows Inter's high recognition and expectations for the rising star. In his first season with Inter, he was hampered by his formation and injuries, and Lautaro mostly played as a substitute. With 35 appearances and 17 starts, he delivered a record of 9 goals and 2 assists, and in his debut season as a rookie, there was no very bright stats, but the performance was also very good. After a season with Inter, he has better adapted to such a high level of league as Serie A.
Entering the new season, Argentine compatriot Icardi left for Paris, Lautaro secured the starting position, Inter signed a partner From Manchester United to partner Lukaku, and the two-man Conte ruled the 352 formation of the forward combination to kill the four sides. Lautaro has gradually shown his great ability and value, opening the record for the team several times, scoring four consecutive goals in the Champions League and reaching 16 goals in all competitions. Playing steadily and not fearing strong opponents, the outstanding performance of the young bulls has once again become the target of major giants, the most willing of which is Barcelona, which is struggling to find a successor to Su Shen. At the national team level, he also gradually took over the guns of Higuain and Aguero and became the absolute main force of the Argentine national team.
Lautaro confessed in an interview that his idol is Falcao, and the young bull is very comprehensive in technology and has immeasurable room for growth. Lautaro has superb shooting skills, strong ability to grasp opportunities and finish, although his height is not high, but his head ability is strong, his running position is very ghostly, he has a certain breakthrough and individual combat ability, he has a very fast turning speed in the case of absolute speed is not fast enough, and his flexibility is good, which is very similar to Suarez when he was young, which fully reflects the characteristics that a top shooter should have.
But what is even more valuable is that Lautaro has a special desire for victory, which is what we commonly call strong spiritual attributes. Repeated scoring for the team and even giving lightning goals is definitely not accidental and lucky, which reflects the Cubs' absolute focus on the game from the first minute, Lautaro's professional attitude and desire to win are beyond doubt. In Argentina Messi's side can not hesitate to physically fight, a good positive interaction with Messi. Talented coupled with hard work, if you can make up for shortcomings, cash in on your talents, and gradually form your own unique style, such a comprehensive and young Lautaro is definitely a rare front-line killer.
Now more and more mature Lautaro is on the road to getting better and better both technically and physically, and the current Lautaro may not be the most technical player in Argentina's forward line, but it is certainly the most suitable forward player for Argentina. To succeed Suya, Lautaro still has a long way to go, but for Lautaro, who is only 22 years old, highly malleable and has unlimited hope, anything is possible.
Lautaro has confessed that his idol is Falcao, and he admires the Colombians' ghostly running position on the court and will try to handle the ball like him. In the current Lautaro, we can see the shadow of world-class centers like Akun, Su Ya and so on, and the young bull is very comprehensive in technology and has immeasurable upside. Of course, Lautaro doesn't need to take over whoever is there, no need to be "XX" second, just try to show yourself and be a unique Lautaro.
