Can someone describe his game for me?
I have an idea but would like a second opinion from someone who watches him more often.
Hes a very interesting player. I have watched Inter a lot so I can leave you a long analysis in a few hours when I am free to write it.
For a top striker, he has a very unique profile, but I'd say his game is mainly centred on three things :
Movement
Touch
Use of body/strength (proprioception)
He knows how to use his frame very well inside the box and to move through and around defenders which lets him get to goalscoring opportunities, he can also play with his back to goal this way despite being short, and his movement and touch is whats key in allowing him to create space for shooting and not waste good service. He is special in that he's one of the only strikers who is this good without really having much physical upside (he is not fast, not the most agile and has okay strength).
He is basically all skill. Contrasted with players like Osimhen or Haaland who lean heavily on their physical ability.
In some ways Roque reminds me of him except Roque is physically better and technically worse (especially in touch).
Lautaro also has that gritty fighting style that you see from South American strikers sometimes, he hustles for every opportunity and can let his teammates play off him, although he has been closer to the goal with Inter this season since they no longer have Lukaku.
