Taremi Ready to Bench Lautaro Martinez
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Mehdi Taremi is ready to push Lautaro Martinez to a spot on the bench in Inter Milan’s Serie A opener against Genoa.
According to Milan-based newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews, they note the excellent preseason that the 32-year-old Iranian international has been having.
Taremi is a player that has been part of Inter’s squad in preseason right from the start.
The Iranian joined up with his new teammates in the Nerazzurri’s training camp two weeks ago.
That has given Taremi time to both get his fitness levels up and, even more importantly, work with Inter coach Simone Inzaghi to understand his role in his new team.
Therefore, it has been little surprise to see Taremi starting in all three of Inter’s friendly matches so far.
The Iranian has certainly made his mark.
Taremi took his goal tally in preseason to five with his brace against Las Palmas.
Of course, goals in friendlies count for little. But in Taremi’s case they are evidence of his hunger and of the fact that he is already feeling out how to lead the Nerazzurri line and find opportunities.
