Mauro Icardi responds to Maradona’s comments
“I can’t talk about a person who is an example for nobody. Everyone knows the person I’ve become. His words were bad, but it had happened already.”
“He was an amazing player, but I am not talking about people who are outside football.”
Icardi also shared his thoughts on Inter’s shape
“We have to work hard because we are a big club. We’ve trained well during the international break. International players will return soon. We can play a great game against Cagliari. We can always play like we did against Juventus, there are no alibis.”
“I have to thank the club for their trust and the renewal. I am happy for being considered national team material, but the coach has to choose.”
“Mancini told me that he was going to leave Inter in August. I was the only one to be aware. When I was playing for Sampdoria I was offered to play for U-21 Italy national team, but I decided to say no. The best strikers in the world are Argentinean and I am just 23. I can only wait.”
“I can’t remember when exactly but in 2013 or 2014 I had sports hernia and Branca wanted to send me back to Sampdoria. I asked him to stay, I’ve always wanted to stay at Inter.”
