Inter captain Mauro Icardi answered a series of questions from children for Italian children’s comic magazine Topolino.
Which Inter match do you remember most?
“The Champions League final of 2010 and the 3-2 Milan derby in October, when I scored a hat trick.”
How much responsibility is there to become the captain of Inter at only 22?
“At that age it is not normal but it is in my character to face the challenges put in front of me, receiving Javier Zanetti’s armband has given me so much as a player and as a man I proudly represent the team and the fans. I try to do my best.”
What will you give to Inter for the 110th birthday?
“I hope I can score many goals, win titles for the club and bring joy and satisfaction to the fans.”
How does it feel playing in front of 70,000 people?
“It’s extraordinary, there’s all those people shouting: ‘Come on Inter’ and your name! It’s great to be able to experience these emotions.”
How do you feel when you take a penalty?
“It’s a lot of responsibility, all the confidence of the team is in my feet, thousands of fans look at you holding their breath, but you have to put it in the net.”
Who is the best Inter player ever? And the best in the world?
“Javier Zanetti and Lionel Messi, both are Argentinean like me.”
