If there is a player who knows the difficulties that he goes through in football, it is Hernán Cresto. The former Argentine player has come out in defense of his compatriot, Lautaro Martínez, now that the spotlights are on him due to the bad streak he has at Inter. Crespo recalled a difficult moment that happened at Parma, when he arrived from Argentina, and was supported by his coach at the time, Carlo Ancelotti. He asks the same for Lautaro.
“What does Lautaro need? Too easy: a goal. Hit one and then hit seven or eight in a row. You will see… he is a very strong striker, sought after by the main European clubs who made the precise decision of wanting to stay at Inter to complete the game. Your growth path. I follow him and, even from a distance, I hug him. In the penalty area it is deadly. Hits well with left and right. He is good with his head and stunts. Of course, now he is going through a period of tarnishing, but he has not lost his qualities. How is it helped? Calling him into action, into maneuver, frequently. Even more than he is doing now. At certain times you need to feel part of the project. This is the way to help him.”

Crespo remembered a similar moment that he lived in the past. “I don’t judge the coach’s choices, which among other things is Simone Inzaghi, who is a friend of mine. If he removes him, he will have his reasons. But I know what he goes through, from experience. In my first time in Parma, where I had just landed from Argentina, the Tardini crowd whistled for me and Ancelotti made me play anyway. He imposed my presence and thus he gave me confidence. And little by little I unlocked myself and began to dial. Although Lautaro has been in Italy for years, he is going through a dark moment. He needs that support from the coach and the public. Putting him on the bench can only create more problems,” he said.

Crespo and Ancelotti marked an era at Parma, achieving a runner-up finish in Serie A. Then, they met again at Milan. Already retired, he was his ‘intern’ during the time in which the Italian managed PSG. The one who was his coach was also later his great teacher on the bench. Crespo knew Carlo’s potential and class, first-hand…
