The Argentine scored again at the San Siro in the championship 249 days after the last one, but towards the end he became furious at the choice of stoppage time, kicking the advertising hoardings
November 3, 2024 (change at 11.47pm) – MILAN
A fury. Despite the goal, despite the victory and the 3 points. At the moment of Venezia‘s equalizer – later annulled – Lautaro Martinez threw himself against the Nerazzurri bench, kicking the advertising posters and shouting at the referee. “To move forward we all have to improve. But if we want better football we all have to give more – underlined Toro after the match -. Zero recovery in the first half and seven in the second? Not good”. Lautaro practically echoes himself, when once Sverko’s goal has been conceded, cameras and microphones pinch him: “Seven minutes? Seven minutes?”. The Argentine repeats it twice and seems truly irrepressible. But then in his post-match analysis he moves on to the pitch: “We need to close the games first, we need to grow in the details.” An evening lived with mixed emotions, that of Lautaro, who returned to goal against Venezia at San Siro in the championship 249 days after the last one: “It’s about time! I missed two in the first half, but I’m happy that it’s served to bring home three important points.”

249 days. It took so much to see Lautaro Martinez return to scoring goals at San Siro in Serie A. A very long abstinence, which the Nerazzurri captain certainly felt as evidenced by the celebration after the goal that decided the very complicated match against Venezia: a shot on goal and the ball was thrown in anger towards the stands. Toro’s last “home” goal in the championship dates back to 28 February 2024. A wait of more than 8 months for the Argentine, who found 4 of the 5 goals scored at the start of the season away from the Meazza: brace in Udine, decisive goal at the Olimpico against Roma and at Castellani in Empoli. In between, the goal at home against Red Star, but in the Champions League. But tonight’s heavy goal will help the Argentine (and Inzaghi) to chase away anger and negative thoughts in view of a double match with a very important specific weight against Arsenal and Napoli between next Wednesday and Sunday.
