Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez made a stern remark after losing to Brazilian team Fruminense in the Club World Cup: "Players who don't want to stay, please leave."

After this disappointing defeat, Lautaro, as the team's captain and core striker, was emotional and did not hide his anger in an interview. His tone was tougher than ever.

He said: "I don't want to lose because we always fight for victory. My attitude is clear: stay what you want to stay here, and leave what you want to leave."

He also added: "We have put all our strength into it, but I have seen something that makes me very dissatisfied. As the captain, I hope the team can always be at the highest level; if you want to win the championship, you must have a strong desire to win. We wear this meaningful jersey and must have a top-notch mentality."

In fact, Inter Milan failed to win the championship on many fronts this season: in Serie A, they competed with Naples until the last round, and finally ranked second in the runner-up; they lost 0-5 to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final; and now they have been out of the Club World Cup again. Does all this indicate that the Blue and Black Legion will usher in a major adjustment?

coach Zivo responded to Lautaro's remarks: This is a manifestation of the fighting spirit

Regarding Lautaro's "major" speech, Inter Milan coach Christian Zivo quickly responded: "The competitiveness he showed is obvious. We all have a strong desire to win. We are real fighters, and this spirit sometimes makes us look a little proud or have a distinct personality. But we hope to pass this fighting spirit to every player."

In addition, Zivo also made an attempt to this game against Fruminense. After a review, "We are not as physically as our opponents and our concentration is not enough. We play too complicatedly, but it should be simpler and more direct. That is the issue of energy. We try to turn the situation around, but luck is not on our side."

At the same time, Zivo also hopes to see the positive side in this event: "I have also noticed the areas where we performed well in this game, such as the growth of young players, the integration of new players, etc. We must see the positive side. Despite the various challenges of a long season, we are still trying to do our best."
