Inter Milan captain Lautaro enjoying Thuram partnership after victory over Fiorentina

Inter Milan captain Lautaro Martinez was delighted with victory over Fiorentina.

Lautaro scored twice as Inter won 4-0.

He later told Inter TV: "I am happy above all for the victory, for how the team played: it was important to win, because now there will be a break. It will be important to recover and think about what comes next."


You and Marcus Thuram split the duties up front.

"It's important, he too is capable of being a first striker and doing dirty work. We take turns, but I'm happy with everyone's performance: we did an excellent job, against a team that gives you trouble with dribbling."


How much mental work is behind these performances?

"A lot. We have to be focused for ninety minutes, and today we did it. It's important, it means that everyone is available and focused. It's a sign that the team gives to the coach."


A thought now goes to the derby?

"It is certainly the most special match for this club. Now everyone will focus on their national team, but a thought will also go to that match: they are also at the top of the table, it will be a good match to play."
