On October 31, Beijing time, in the 10th round of Serie A, Inter Milan secured a convincing 3-0 away victory over Empoli. After the match, Inter Milan forward Lautaro criticized the fairness of the Ballon d’Or selection process.
Lautaro said, “I still have room for improvement, and I hope to contribute more to Inter Milan and the Argentina national team. Awards like the Ballon d’Or are sometimes selected unfairly, but I am satisfied with my work over the past year. As you know, after a long season and participating in the Copa America with Argentina, I immediately joined the team for preseason preparations. I played many matches without much rest, so feeling fatigued is normal. However, we all strive to do our best, and it’s important to continue performing well. The season is a long process.”
Lautaro also commented on the match: “Empoli were in good form, and facing them was not easy. They have excellent physical attributes and strong midfield control. We showed our best performance on the field, and this was a must-win game. Keeping a clean sheet was also crucial, as these three points are essential for our championship aspirations.”
