Scaloni praises Lautaro: “He always gives 120%”. And on Samuel: “He is ready”

Lionel Scaloni had positive words for Lautaro Martinez and Walter Samuel in comments reported on November 12. The Argentina coach highlighted the Inter captain’s attitude, stressing his constant involvement and willingness to give everything for the national team. The former Nerazzurri defender, now part of the Albiceleste staff, also featured in Scaloni’s remarks.

Regarding the Inter number ten, Scaloni was clear: “Lautaro always gives 120%”. It is recognition of the intensity with which the striker approaches training and matches, as well as the importance he continues to have within Argentina’s group. As for Samuel, the coach pointed to a specific future prospect: “He is ready to coach”. The statement opens a discussion about the former centre-back’s next step, without indicating any timing or destination.

For Inter, the assessment of Lautaro comes as the team has beaten Como 2-0 on November 8, following a 3-0 Champions League victory over Feyenoord and a 3-1 defeat against Milan. The next fixture is away to Atalanta on Sunday, November 22, at 20:45 in Serie A: the captain’s return remains a central issue.
