Inter captain Mauro Icardi stopped by Inter Channel after having scored his 6th Serie A goal of the season, this time from the penalty spot which meant 1-1 away against Bologna at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara.

“We are not happy because we wanted to win, we could have played better, but as things turned out we’ll take the draw. We return home a little bit disappointed. We needed to take advantage of the last 15 minutes of the match. They ran a lot but in the end they pulled back because they grew tired. We should have taken advantage of that towards the end, we could have done something more, but we were unable to. The penalty? They studied me, and how I take them so I decided to shoot it like this. I do not like shooting penalties down the middle but it went in.”

What did you and Palacio talk about?

“He is my friend, I talk to him a lot even in Milano. We did not say anything special to each other.”

Now it is on to Genoa?

“We have to get back to winning at home. In front of our own crowd it will be like having one more player on the pitch. We have to return to giving a great performance to continue our positive streak.”
