Two goals and a header that hit the post is what Mauro Icardi managed to do against Sampdoria tonight when he turned up to speak with Sky Sports after the game.
“I am not happy with how this game ended and I am upset that I did not put that header in the back of the net in the first half. I also missed some passes I should not have missed. These are some of the areas where I have to improve. And we can not risk to lose two points like we did tonight at the end of the match. We have some margins for improvement, we know what we are capable of, the team is strong, the staff exceptional and we are all very, very proud of what we are doing at the moment.”
“There is still a long way to go, we are already concentrating on the next game. Against Napoli we returned home to Milano with a good result, maybe we could have done even better, but we are aware of the potential of this team and we can do even better. Today we should have closed the game off in the first half, we created a lot of chances, we scored, yet we almost managed to ruin everything at the end” Icardi concluded.
His hold-up and link-up play is getting more and more convincing. Good job.
i think in this game, before it became 3-1 with a bit of luck it could’ve been 4 or 5-0, samp got a sniff and credit to them for fighting back, but if one of those chances that hit post go in samp put their head down for good and it’s game over and we probably keep a clean sheet, end of the day we get our 3 points and move forward,
forza inter
Couldn agree with you more!!!
Forza inter!!!!
Sampdoria are in great form they won 5-0 in the previous game, so I am happy with this result..
weird subtitution to show our limitation and for soft diplomacy. I think spalletti is smart on and off the field
I dont like the way we end the game, but i think maybe it such blessing in disguise for us. Cause everytime we win convincingly like the one against sasoulo n atalanta then we’ve overconfidence n fall in many games after that. By winning like this, hope we can always play focus n keep our foot on the ground.
I was left very disappointed by the result of this game. Not by the performance of the players, because they did brilliantly for one hour or for as long as they had energy on their batteries, but I was very disappointed in our brilliant coach: yet again the plays with the same 11 players as the game before – which makes sense when building a new team and for one hour they were superb as mentioned, but when the team needed their coach to step in and give them a hand he was no where to be found.
The guys had played a very hard game 3 days before this one and ran out of energy after 1 hour and then Spalletti should have brought on fresh legs to spice up the team but he didnt! What he did was to take off 2 players that had been playing brilliantly (Vecino and Nagatomo – yes I know, but he was great to night) and replacing them with Mario who sucks big time as an attacking mid and Borja who hasn’t got enough muscle power to play in a mid two in the ned of a game where he too was very tired – that´s why Samp over-ran us; Gagliardini was left totally alone in midfield.
As for naga Spalla went – not for Dalbert who had been looking good but for Santon!! He didn’t anything and in fact was to blame for not stopping 34 year old Quagli…. for scoring his goal = 2 very strange and poor changes from Spalletti. Eder for Icardi makes sense, even though Cancreva barely could walk when Eder came on and icardi still seemed fresh…
But at the end of the day 3 points are 3 points! Forza Spalletti you old genius and forza Inter!!
Bro, what Spaletti said after the game is that cancelo still doesn’t feel good and has pain when crossing, he wanted to field Santon for aerial and physical ability and Dalbert still needs time to adapt, he’s 100% right when as Samp whete forcing us deep.
Santon as a header? But still he failed when Quagl. scored to mark him and keep him from score with his head? If you want a strong header maybe Ranno would have been the answer and switching to 3 at the back? Naga was doing great up until the was taken off
Yes but Qual. didn’t score from Santon’s side. Anyway those were Spaletti’s words not mine but I support this man blindly even when we lose
Maybe you read my comment bro. Exactly what I’m saying. Spelletti needed to adjust things earlier.
2 geniuses; one thought!
It’s true
Exactly mate. Spalletti ruined the midfield with this substitute. Borja should have been off at 65 min.
He should, but maybe Vecino was “over-cooked” tonight from the Napoli game… But still, would have prefered Mario in central mid not as an attacking mid, where he always sucks
I think fatigue contributed to that scare towards the end of the match.
Really bro?! Napoli did it we only play in one competition. POOR!
Starting to act/speak like a captain.
