According to Fcinternews, Inter legend Giancarlo Altobelli believes Inter's European performances still need improvement, and he strongly supports Lautaro, Dimarco, and Martínez.

Altobelli commented on Inter's away loss to Real Madrid, saying: "Inter certainly deserved more. I appreciate the team's style of play, but in certain situations adjustments may be needed."

"European competitions pit you against different opponents than Serie A. There are extremely strong top clubs that will make life difficult for you and force you to work hard. Actually, I like that Inter dares to face opponents head-on, even such strong ones, and focuses more on attacking than defending. Inter plays football; they don't just take the field to avoid conceding goals. Of course, the team can always continue to improve."

"It's more accurate to talk about the defensive phase rather than just defense. Because when the opponent attacks, everyone needs to help. Defense only works with support from midfielders and forwards. When you don't have possession, everyone must defend together. The same applies to attack; defenders also join in the offensive play. Inter especially needs to pay more attention to this in European competitions."

"Can Inter reach the Champions League quarterfinals? I believe so. Even though the team lost their first match, I still believe in it. We should appreciate the team's performance and the strength they can show in the future."

Altobelli believes: "This team is very strong and well-built; fans can be at peace. Of course, as we've seen, European competitions are tougher than the Italian domestic league, and the Nerazzurri remain favorites for the Serie A title this season."

Regarding Martínez's mistake, he said: "He, like Provedel, is an excellent goalkeeper. There are still many matches to play, and both will have opportunities. Actually, Pepe, like other goalkeepers, tries to build play from the back. Sometimes I wonder from a practical standpoint whether that makes sense. If it can create problems for the team, the most sensible and traditional approach is for the goalkeeper to quickly clear the ball with a long pass into the opponent's box. This eliminates risk and gives you a chance to immediately try to regain possession."

Speaking about individual players, Altobelli also commented on the other Martínez, Lautaro: "Mbappé, Kane, and he are probably only three or four truly world-class players. I wouldn't compare him to anyone, but I would definitely keep Lautaro by my side."

He was also unconcerned about Dimarco's future: "I don't think there are any issues with extending the contract of one of the world's best left-backs, who is also an Inter player."

Finally, Altobelli spoke about Ausilio's departure: "I regret it, as do all Inter fans. During his 28 years at Inter, he gradually grew into an important director. Now it's his successor Baccin's turn, and I believe he will do very well."
