Inter Milan beat Genoa: Goalkeeper Josep Martinez says victory made debut even more special

With Lautaro's goal, Inter Milan defeated Genoa 1-0 in the focus match of the 26th round of the 2024/25 Serie A. Goalkeeper Josep Martinez, who started for Inter Milan for the first time, said that this victory made his debut very special and he was very happy that the team got 3 points.

In the 78th minute of the second half, Calhanoglu took a corner kick and Lautaro jumped up and headed the ball into the goal, helping Inter Milan take the lead 1-0.

In the end, Inter Milan defeated Genoa 1-0 at the San Siro Stadium and successfully returned to the winning track.

The 26-year-old Spanish goalkeeper Josep Martinez joined Inter Milan in July last year, but did not make his Serie A debut and his first start for Inter Milan until the match against Genoa this season.

Josep Martinez said in an interview, "I am very happy, more for the team, not just for myself, because this victory and the three points are very important. Of course, I will remember this game, especially saving Ekuban's shot, which made my debut extra special. I was very moved, but the most important thing is that we defeated Genoa."

"Since I learned that I would start, this week has been very special for me. I have been training here for a few months, just waiting for such an opportunity. As a goalkeeper, you must always be ready, especially in the upcoming Italian Cup match, where I may also play."

In addition, Inter Milan will face Lazio at home in the Italian Cup quarterfinals, and in the next round of Serie A Inter Milan will travel to challenge Napoli.

Josep Martinez continued, "Sommer has helped me a lot. He has given me a lot of support since the first day I came here, which is very important to me. We know that the opponent is a dynamic and threatening team. Although our performance was not perfect, the most important thing is to get 3 points."

“The match against Napoli is a direct duel, but there is still a long way to go and it is not a decisive game. We want to win all our games, that is the most important thing, and we will try to beat Napoli.”
