Inter Milan hero Lothar Matthaus admits he's a fan of the current team.

Matthaus has been impressed by captain Lautaro Martinez this season.

He told La Gazzetta dello Sport: "The whole world sees him as more confident, involved as captain in the coach's choices, a symbol of the whole team. Now he is in the best moment of his career: he is the strongest Lautaro ever."

Asked if Inter's midfield the strongest in the world, the German also said: "Yes, because of the way they work for each other, everyone knows how to stay on the pitch at all times. You can see that they are well trained, in a precise system in which even the youngest ones can immediately fit in: one of the 'pluses' is precisely the coach who gave a soul.

"There are 22 brothers, not just 11, behind him: no one is angry because he isn't playing, everyone is focused on winning the scudetto. I repeat, the Inter coach is showing the same ability to involve everyone that Xabi Alonso has in Leverkusen."
