Mauro Icardi has shared his delight after scoring his first international goal in Argentina’s 2-0 win over Mexico last night.
“I have been missing this one, I have waited a long time for it, so I am very happy. For a striker like me, it is not nice when you struggle to score. There has been a lot of talk, but now I hope to continue like this,” he proclaimed in an interview with reporters after the match.
Maurito, followed this up speaking about Argentina’s overall performance.
“We are a really tight knit group, we can grow a lot more and are all happy with the work of Leo Scaloni, Walter Samuel and Pablo Aimar. The leadership of the Football Federation must decide their future but I can say that now there is an environment which we have not had before. We all feel at ease, which is very important. There has never been a union between management and the players such as the one that exists now”.
The Nerazzurri striker finished off by speaking a bit about Lionel Messi.
“Messi? He is the best in the world and we all hope that he will come back, especially with the Copa America on the way.”
