Inter assistant manager Cristian Stellini warns Lautaro Martinez that his behaviour will not be tolerated after he was substituted for a poor attitude.

The striker came on to replace injured Alexis Sanchez 35 minutes into the 3-1 victory over Roma, but was hauled off again for Andrea Pinamonti at the 77th.

He reacted angrily by shouting and throwing his shirt while Antonio Conte told him off.

They might’ve already won the Scudetto, but Conte and his assistant manager Stellini will not stand for anything less than 100 per cent.

“This is something that also happened to me 14 years ago when Conte was my coach and I was still a player. He substituted me after 20 minutes,” Stellini told Sky Sport Italia.

“This is an example of the mentality we want to see. Even if the result is already secure, we expect all the players to give the maximum effort.

“At that moment, Lautaro was not playing up to the right standard and we want players who are always fully focused.

“Some things remain on the pitch, it’s all in the past now and we will look forward to the next match.”
