In an interview with Paris Saint Germain’s club website, Mauro Icardi has shared his delight with how things are going for him whilst on loan at the Parc des Princes outfit from Inter.
“I feel great. I was lucky enough to make a good start with the club. I came here with lots of motivation to show what I can do on the pitch. For the moment, it’s working well,” he explained.
“As soon as I got the chance to play, I was always talking to my teammates, telling them what I could do, where I like the ball, the runs I make. That’s why you need to have a good relationship with your teammates. All of that contributed to helping me settle in very quickly.”
The Argentine then spoke on his clinical nature in front of goal which has helped him net 13 goals in 16 appearances for the club.
“My style of play just comes naturally. I don’t work on it that much. I always try to be in the best position possible and to be as accurate as possible. When I get the chance to score, I have to be focused and in ‘killer’ mode. Today, I have scored nearly 150 goals and they are nearly all the same. That’s my style.”
Next, the 26-year-old spoke on the continued growth he and his teammates are making on the field.
“We are always learning and learning from everyone. Everyone has their own way of seeing football. I have always listened to every coach I had and all my teammates too. We always talk and I always listen to how they see the game and I learn from each of them.
“I have always been this way. In every team I’ve ever played in, I was always the goal scorer, the player than won matches, and it has followed me into my professional career.”
In conclusion he was asked what his objectives are for the second half of the season.
“I came here to help the team win as many trophies as possible. The aim for the club and the supporters is to see Paris Saint-Germain win. I will do everything I can on the pitch to make that happen.”
