Stellini hails ever-improving Inter Milan pair Lautaro, Barella

Former Inter Milan assistant coach Cristian Stellini has been impressed by Nicolo Barella and Lautaro Martinez's development.

Stellini worked with both players while at Inter as Antonio Conte's No2.

On Barella, he said: Where I see that Nicol Barella has clearly improved is in his game management.

Before he was a player who ran hard, showed dynamism, but now he selects when and how to use those bursts of pace. He is more mature, has become a leader and can control his behaviour better."

On Lautaro, he also told TMW Radio: Lautaro has certainly become more of a finisher and is far more decisive in attack. He has always been very good at playing for the other striker, and as a youngster played in the Number 10 role, but today he is far more consistent in his finishing."
