He was interviewed at the recent pre-season training camp at Pinzolo by Inter Channel and Mauro Icardi commented on the affection he receives from the fans every day. He also made a special reference to a teammate who he gets along perfectly with.
Being a public figure
“My life has changed. Two years ago people didn’t know who I was, I played with the youngsters and now everything is different. A different kind of life.”
The goals and the pressure
“I don’t feel the pressure to score, a striker needs to score goals and it is normal that fans expect him to do so. Everyone have their responsibilities, defenders and midfielders as well. Football is about goals and that is up to us strikers.”
The future Inter
“Mazzarri wants a hungry team; it is one of his characteristics. He works on the physical level as well as the mental one so as to be able to be stronger than the opponents. We will work a lot on this.”
The feeling with Kovacic
“Yes, with him there is a full understanding. As soon as he sees my movement he gives me the perfect pass, and for me everything becomes so much easier.”
Three competitions
“We want to win it all. We’ll count the sum at the end, we won’t give away a centimeter.”
