Lautaro Likely to Return for the Second Leg
Inter’s Plan for Barcelona: A Lie in Mourinho’s Style!
It seems Lautaro Martinez could rejoin his team for the crucial match against Barcelona, and recent rumors are actually part of Inter’s strategy for this game.
According to reports, Lautaro Martinez, who is currently hailed as Inter’s miracle, has now entered the final stage of his recovery. Inter released a vague statement last Friday, neither confirming nor denying his participation in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinal against Barcelona. Instead, the club is employing a strategy of “ambiguity” to mislead Hans-Dieter Flick.
Inter’s medical report, issued after Lautaro’s injury in the first leg against Barcelona, stated: “Clinical and imaging tests at the Humanitas Institute in Rozzano revealed a left thigh flexor muscle strain. The player’s condition will be monitored daily.”
This daily monitoring creates uncertainty and unpredictability. Barcelona has no assurance whether they should prepare for the match with or without Lautaro. It resembles the case of Arsène Wenger and Robin van Persie, who initially claimed he wouldn’t play but did. Such meticulous tactics and calculated lies, reminiscent of José Mourinho’s era at Inter, seem to have become a recurring strategy for the club.
Since Saturday, rumors have circulated in media outlets aligned with the club: “The miracle is possible.” With two days left before the second leg, everyone is waiting to see what happens in this deliberately ambiguous and unpredictable scenario created by Inter.
