Inter Milan's internal turmoil after defeat

Lautaro Martinez was disappointed as Inter Milan were eliminated from the FIFA Club World Cup.

Captain Lautaro Martinez made fiery statements after the match in the early morning of July 1, revealing signs of internal rift and sending a message that couldn't be clearer: "Whoever doesn't want to stay, should leave."

Lautaro did not mention anyone by name in front of the media, but those who follow the team closely understand that this warning is partly aimed at Hakan Calhanoglu - who is showing signs of "indifference" to Inter's long-term project and is rumored to be considering leaving. However, perhaps it is not only the Turkish midfielder who is mentioned in Lautaro's strong statement.

“You have to really want to stay here, to contribute to this group. We have taken Inter to a certain level, and we have to continue to do so. I will not say names, but I have seen many unacceptable things,” Lautaro said.

No beating around the bush, no mercy - Lautaro, as captain, questioned the unity and commitment in the “Nerazzurri” dressing room, especially after a disappointing season.

Lautaro Martinez believes that those who do not want to stay at Inter Milan should leave.

Ending the season with zero titles, Inter not only lost the chance to win the treble, but also lost themselves. Lautaro admitted that, calling for the same collective spirit as in the previous championship-winning season.

“We have fought for five years and achieved many successes. But this season has been long, tiring and full of failures. Now it is time to start again, to start again like we used to,” the Argentine striker shared.

But before they can “renew”, Inter need to face reality – a reality that Lautaro himself does not hide. The team spirit is in trouble, some players may no longer be wholeheartedly committed to the blue-black shirt.

On the technical side, Lautaro also frankly admitted that Inter did not play well in the loss to Fluminense: “In the first half, we lost concentration, made many mistakes and conceded an early goal. In the second half, although we played better, we conceded a second goal. However, we gave everything we had on the field.”

The Argentine striker also pointed out objective reasons such as weather, physical strength and lack of force, but affirmed that this could not be an excuse to justify the failure.

Finally, he apologized to the fans who had traveled to the US to support the team in the fateful match: “I apologize to the fans who came here for us. Now, the important thing is to rest and come back strong for the new season.”

Lautaro's words were not simply a statement after a defeat. They were a warning, a sign of a deep cleansing that was about to take place at Giuseppe Meazza. Those who no longer had faith, no longer had the desire to fight - would probably have to leave. And in that storm, captain Lautaro Martinez himself stood up to ring the bell of change for an Inter that was losing its way.

The 2024/25 season ended in disappointment. But the summer of 2025 - could be the moment that decides the future of an entire team.
