According to Turin Sports Daily, Paval did not participate in the Club World Cup due to injury, but played with his friend Special O, which aroused dissatisfaction among Inter Milan fans.
Inter Milan is experiencing a constant storm. After being eliminated by Frumenense in the 1/8 final of the Club World Cup, the team's dissatisfaction surfaced: Lautaro's severe accusations against Cialhanoglu triggered the latter's tough response on social media, and even attracted the likes and support of Turam Jr., and club chairman Marotta also confirmed the sensitivity of the situation with Cialhanoglu.
It is said that Lautaro had communicated with Cialhanoglu via telephone to try to resolve the conflict, but one wave had not been resolved and the Paval incident also triggered public opinion.
Paval was absent from an ankle injury in his home match against Roma in April. Although he returned before the Champions League final, his injury still had not healed. After the group stage of the Club World Cup, he chose to return to Italy in advance to recover due to his injury due to his inability to recover in time during the Club World Cup.
However, a photo exposed today caused an uproar: Paval played Padel ball (cage tennis) with his national team friend and Milan player Teo in Sardinia. This move made Inter Milan fans angry on social media and expressed dissatisfaction:
"Is this another teasing after Cialhanoglu?", "Is that ankle not healed yet?", "Can Padel ball cure ankle?", "Doesn't your ankle hurt when playing Padel ball?", "Doesn't your ankle hurt when playing Padel ball?",
This incident once again pushed the tense atmosphere in Inter Milan to the forefront. Although every player can freely control his leisure time and do what he likes, many people expressed dissatisfaction with Padel's behavior, and this sport puts a considerable load on the ankle joints.
Perhaps even Lautaro is no exception. Inter Milan president Marotta has tried to gather Lautaro's criticism on Cialhanoglu alone, but Lautaro is likely to be expressing a broader view and targeting other teammates. For example, when playing against Barcelona in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Lautaro fought with injuries, while Paval chose to give up after trying to make a comeback. This comparison is hard to ignore.
