Today, Milan's famous "Inter" club is in the spotlight due to internal disagreements and great psychological pressure, reports gazzetta.it. After the team's defeat against Fluminense in the 1/8 finals of the Club World Cup, the conflict between team leaders Lautaro Martinez and Hakan Calhanoglu became the center of wide discussion.
The cause of the conflict — Lautaro’s sharp interview
After the defeat, Inter captain Lautaro Martinez gave an interview that surprised both fans and teammates: “I’ll be brief: if you want to stay — stay, if you don’t — leave,” he stated openly. Many assumed these words were addressed to Turkish midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu.
Club president Beppe Marotta also confirmed that Lautaro’s words were directed precisely at Calhanoglu. Hakan, in turn, responded on social media: “Words that destroy unity. Respect is not a one-way street. I have never said I am dissatisfied with Inter,” he wrote. Teammate Marcus Thuram liked Calhanoglu’s post, which fueled the discussion even more.
Head coach Kivu’s emergency decision
Due to the escalation of the situation, Inter’s head coach Cristian Chivu immediately called an emergency meeting. He demanded explanations not only from the players directly involved in the conflict, but also from other members of the squad. At this meeting, several veteran players spoke up, reminding everyone of the importance of unity and team spirit, and called for reconciliation.
La Gazzetta dello Sport notes that this decision by Kivu was positively received by the team and helped stabilize the atmosphere. The active participation of veterans and open dialogue with young players played a decisive role in resolving the internal conflict at Inter.
Education and discipline reach a new level
This event showed the need to strengthen discipline and internal culture in the team, making the values and principles of unity even more significant for every player. Fans and experts praised Inter’s management for their quick and wise approach in this situation.
Open disputes, support for young players, and the coach’s firm position are expected to make the team even stronger and more united in the upcoming season. At Inter, every player understands their responsibility for their words and actions and strives to maintain a professional atmosphere.
In the coming days, more news is expected about what changes will occur at the club and how the relationship between Martinez and Calhanoglu will develop. One thing is clear: maintaining the internal atmosphere and strengthening team spirit remain the club’s top strategic priority. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
