Mauro Icardi, who scored a brace in tonight’s win against Fiorentina spoke with SKY during post-game interviews and had the following to say: “For this season I had to prepare by myself without my teammates. But I prepared well and I wanted to be fully prepared and I think I proved that by scoring twice after 15 minutes. If this is the year? I hope this season will go well and that we will do better than we did last year. Now we have to find continuity and awareness of what jersey we wear. The great turn up of fans isn’t something new for me, today there were 50 000 of them supporting us, this means a lot for us players. Today’s win was also for them. Mister has a clear idea of what we should do, now it is up to us to make a difference on the pitch. He is good in transforming his will and conviction to us, and this is something that we haven’t had in the past seasons. Spalletti’s vertical play helps me, it makes the team longer and opens up space for my teammates. I’m more comfortable with that, he always tells me to go deep. The national team? I have always been calm, something that I have been expecting for 4 years now, but I have always been a professional doing what was expected of me. The call-up is the result of everything I have done up until now.

i hope something changed in you after the roma game… without icardi we would have been dead and buried! MI9 is here to stay!
Yeah a lot changed. I got into Inter facebook pages to see that there were actually stupider human being than in this thread saying Icardi is the best striker ever in the history of Inter !!!!!!
Cmoooon, he can get whatever stats he wants. Best striker with 0 titles ???
And he’s not my captain and he will never be. At best he can be worthy sometime of Inter which is hard for me to see him like that since he got that captain armband which he doesn’t deserve and just what the fuck !
From Zanetti to this cheap prick that offends fans to sell his shitty autobiography ?!!
Without Icardi we would have been buried, no my friend we would have been buried without Perisic, without Joao Mario and the other lads. Because Icardi finishes, he is not a creator. So he gets to score when the team plays like they did in the second half.
Because in the first half he was a shadow, he can’t put the team on his shoulders. Period.
I hope we’ll get some really talented player soon, that we can actually rely on. Icardi can be the best striker of Inter but the best player, the “GOD” they make him to be. Never ever.
BRo im with you in terms of plastic players.. but to mention nagatomo and icardi in the same bracket.. you cant do that.. btw.. you know that icardi has a clause of 100 M for clubs outside of italy right.. obviously that will deter many clubs.. only PSG, City and barca because they just sold neymar can afford that.. and obviously for Mourinho , he would rather have lukaku who is already accustomed to the EPL. but i would take Icardi over Lukaku any day. im sure Icardi will have a 20+ goals season again.. even 30.. especially with perisic on form… if anything i still hope we get a better player in place of candreva as he seems to be inconsistent.
i feel your pain season after season since 2010.. many think it was gonna be our year again but it was all false hope.. but this season seems like its the real deal.. Suning managed to get inter out of debt and around the FFP.. in one or two seasons you will see them being able to properly splash money.. all depends on us entering CL next season…
Look at milan.. they have spent so much.. but if next season they fail to qualify for CL they are gonna be royally screwed in the ass.. i think our management is taking the right and necessary steps to ensure our club going forward.
Icardi is our main man..along with Perisic and MR. Batmanovic who has been saving our ass day after day..! Skriniar looks pretty solid to me.. and if valero can dictate play in the middle and gaglia develops further.. im sure you will see that this team will be great and your views on Icardi will change as well.. keep a positive mind frame my friend.. FORZA INTER!
obviously our central striker should be our top scorer.. and he has been doing his job… you cant blame the whole poor season at him… how bout our defense who always concede stupid goals… why dont you put it on them? coz when we lose is not because we couldnt score goals.. its becuz we couldnt defend a lead against my grandmother…
im not over rating the guy… but you are really downgrading his efforts and his merit. this guy is wanted by many clubs but inter already made it clear he is unsellable and our captain… obvously other clubs wont just try to bid for our captain.. btw mourinho has lukaku so he wouldnt buy icardi as well.. he needs a winger and thats why he wants perisic.. who i think we made a great thing by keeping him… our team this year looks much better… i have big hopes.. im sure you can feel something different too..
you have your opinions and i value it… but im just saying you are too harsh on the man… and im pretty sure many clubs would sign him in a heart beat if they think they had the chance to do so..
I don’t have a favorite player in Inter right now to be honest, I slightly like Handa and Mario more than others from the regulars.
And I’m not saying he played bad this last match but his character is just f*cked up.
And yeah fans of Inter overrate him way too much.
He is one of the key players we have and one of the best, and he has the potential to become something great but with this attitude of him I never see him reaching the level of Ibra and other great attackers.
He thinks too much of how great he is. Other great players didn’t waste time on talking about themselves, they proved it with doings, not words.
ok bro… one more thing… everyone on this whole thread is saying you are a hater.. and youre the only one saying we are all deluded.. what does that say about you and your logic…
we are all idiots and you the man… i can read your mind.. congratulations.. you should apply to become the manager of inter… im sure you will deliver… you the man!! Hallelujah our saviour has come… praise be the lord!
Yeaah right and you are being so smart now.
This whole thread ? 3-4 people you mean ?
Yeah right, learn something about football. See how much other people outside of Inter value your precious Icardi and tell me again how great he is.
welll i count about at least 9 ppl here in this thread… coz these are the ones who were commenting and reading your comments too… and none agree with you… lets just take the consensus then… 9 against 1 …
im not being smart but based on the ppl on here .. you seems to be alone in this..
learn something about football?? shiit son.. i know ma shit.. i dont know about you… and you should maybe support another team if you think our captain aint shit.. support milan or juventus… you deserve each other..
i happen to know alot of ppl who dont support inter and they all value icardi highly…
anyways say what you want to say.. hater is always gonna be a hater… FORZA INTER! FORZA ICARDI!!
Icardi was praising himself? He was talking about how he proved himself after an injury. He’s saying he’s back in form. But you’re too busy trying to read into every single comment of his and turn it into something bad.
A man is gonna talk about himself in an autobiography.
what do you want him to write? That he did nothing?
And he didn’t blackmail anyone into going to Napoil, the negotiations were vocal from Wanda, he wanted a pay raise because he friggen deserves it.
So instead of dwelling on stupid sh*t like this, celebrate a f*cking win for your team.
You’ve earned yourself a block for being the biggest dumb@ss on this platform, and there’s a guy that rates Kondogbia and Ansaldi. Ciao.
Why do you think Real keep Benzema ??
Because statistically wise Icardi is better than Benzema.
But if you compare what they do for their teams, Icardi is not even 50% of Benzema.
And we don’t need to compare Benzema, we have had great attackers starting from the latest like Milito,Eto, Ibrahimovic,Adriano,.
They had bad days, but disappearing from the pitch and being completely muted by defenders has never happened to them like it happens half of the time with Icardi at least.
And just tell me why, when Icardi is better than every attacker until now with stats why hasn’t anyone made a bid on him ????
We saw that for a great player teams don’t hesitate to spend big money,we saw it with Neymar and we have seen it a lot of times but that’s not the case for Icardi.
Because simply he’s not worth 100 million, at his best he’s a 50 millions player if you consider the stats.
You must be crazy if you say that Icardi has the same impact on the pitch as Ibrahimovic,Suarez,Benzema, Aguero.
Stfu
Yeah right, so your argument is swearing ?!
Good debate mate 🙂
No need to discuss or debate with haters.
So every opinion you don’t like you classify it as hating ??
No man, you are a hater. You always say bad things. I am sorry if offense you by swearing at you. But why put the blame to him when we all know he is our best player
Handanovic is our best player, just that it is really sad that goalkeepers, defenders and other players generally don’t get the credits they deserve.
Icardi has potential and is really good right now, but he’s not a god how he makes himself and most of Inter fans.
What makes you critize him even when he played good and made goals?
No no, now tell me how is the best player again ???
Don’t change the subject.
Because Icardi’s duty is to score goals while when Handanovic and others do their duty at their best they don’t even get mentioned.
Icardi is one of the key players of the team but not the best.
It is debatable icardi or handa is the best player. Handa often made impossible saves but sometimes got scored by long range shot. Icardi is the best for me because he is no longer poacher. He is modern striker who can make assists and goals.
Hahahahahaha can you just listen to yourself ??
You can’t count even 5 matches that Handa cost us the game, while I can count you at least 10 matches where Icardi just disappeared doing nothing in the field.
I get it, you love Icardi and all that, but if you are going to praise someone, praise them about something real.
Yeah, maybe you are right. Same like you as icardi hater, critize him when he played well
When you compare players you have to watch at consistency.
Handanovic is twice as consistent compared to Icardi.
Performing at your best 90% of the time versus 50-60% is very big difference.
I don’t hate Icardi, I hate overrating people. Because if you ask fans of Inter he is better than every other attacker, sometimes people talk like we have Maradona in our team.
If there’s anyone who can talk and back it up on this team it’s MI9. Why take the time out to type this nonsense after he just scored a brace in the first game of the season.
You just hate on him for no reason now. He’s just come out of an injury and is talking about how he prepared to be at a 100%.
Why not hate on the coach for saying the team has proved something? I swear some of you fans give me heart palpitations.
One word to define someone who dislike icardi for nothing. H A T E R
you porbably dont deserve to be an inter fan for your comments.. what do you mean he has not proved himself.. hes always been our top scorer .. if anything it has always been him and Handanovic that has to drag the team from the hole they put themselves in… and you are bashing him? try to find a number 9 as young as him and as consistent… there are hardly any…
80 goals and 21 assist in 149 games in inter shirt
0 titles and 2 Europa league qualifications ??
You’re going to blame the last 6 years on Icardi alone? Damn. You must be missing something up there.
He didn’t even inspire us to get to the top 5 each year and yet you make him the greatest striker ever, is it me missing something up there or you ?!
Because as it is world known, great players get the team on their shoulders and get it a bit higher than they already can.
Even Sneijder that is a midfielder, took Netherlands to the World Cup finals by himself. But he gave his all and Icardi rarely does that unfortunately.
By that logic, you should hate all our players. Since none of them “inspired” us to 5th place.
I’m not making him as the best striker ever. I’m making him up to be a top forward. Which you would agree with unless you just hated him from the beginning. Oh wait.
I agree that he has the potential, like everyone in the team.
But to rate him that highly is absurd. And yeah I don’t get along that well with arrogant players like him, Brozovic etc.
I’m not the one overrating him. So when you say about a player that he is that good you better have your facts straight.
Because see the more I debate, the more all of you Icardi fans go down on ur statements, top forward, the best of his age and so on.
But if no one disagrees you make him to be in the level of world class strikers which he is miles away from.
your hate on icardi is unbelievable dude.. come on,give him a brake.. he only said that he prepared well for this match, and the goals he scored was the proved. nothing wrong with that.. and you can’t blame last season result on icardi, tbh last season as a team we played like shit..
I’m not blaming him entirely just that he’s the most overrated player we ever had.
I just hate it when he does this, like I said tell me one of our old legends that went out at the media and said “I did this, I did that.”
It is actually a cliche how great players always say “It doesn’t matter that I scored, it matters that the team won.”
But that’s just not Icardi, because he’s a plastic player and he will never be among the level of great strikers in history.
Mark my words.
How are you today you ovverrated user? 🙂
dude, the man didn’t do wrong these past years.
he score goals. that’s what his job is. and he did very good, even 24 goals just like how our best strikers were in the old times (Vieri, Ibra, to name a few).
bad team finish ?
you need to look at our midfield and backline.
no other players score enough goals / chances in the team other than Icardi. it’s very different than the era of 2010 and before. also the bad defense these past seven years had contributed disaster after disaster.
I understand your pain as I’m also a fan of nerrazurri since the time of Roberto Baggio. but you need to direct your anger toward the correct suspects, not to Icardi for God sake.
The man is overrated, simply enough.
Even when he equaled Luca Toni for the most goals, we had won only 10-11 games because of his goals. I looked up each game for that.
If he would have scored just in 2 matches where we drew we would have gotten the Europa League.
If you understand my pain, and if you understand football you should understand that he is overrated.
He is a great attacker but not complete.
Why do you think Real keep Benzema ??
Because statistically wise Icardi is better than Benzema.
But if you compare what they do for their teams, Icardi is not even 50% of Benzema.
And we don’t need to compare Benzema, we have had great attackers starting from the latest like Milito,Eto, Ibrahimovic,Adriano,.
They had bad days, but disappearing from the pitch and being completely muted by defenders has never happened to them like it happens half of the time with Icardi at least.
We are lucky to have him. There are not many worldclass no9s out there. Go look at 83mil Moratta against Spurs today, and thank God that we have Icardi.
Now lets go get Schick and hope that he can become another Icardi for us.
Samp–>Inter : Phenomenon–>Star Player
Well eder isnt the case lol
HAHA Eder came in too late. BUT he hasn’t been bad for the buck
Respect. What a guy.
