The highlights from Icardi’s statements are as follows:
- “I was a leader on every team I played on. I am competitive and a perfectionist. I try to be a leader here too.”
- “I try to help my team with my passes and goals. I represent Turkey. It is a great pride for me to make the fans happy with my goals.”
- “Weight is not a factor for me. I couldn’t participate in training after I was injured in the Beşiktaş match, so they said I was out of shape, but despite that I became top scorer. Being able to be top scorer after 6 months without training is a significant achievement for me.”
- “We faced many negative situations off the field, but we only focused on the field and managed to become champions for two years in a row. Such situations disturb the opponents.”
- “It’s really interesting that a coach like Mourinho talks about such an insignificant issue. There’s no room for such things in big clubs.”
- “We have a special coach and we have a structure that can compete against all teams. I don’t think such statements make sense at the beginning of the season.”
- “There is a rivalry between us and Fenerbahçe. Their elimination from the Champions League is a bad situation for our country. Everyone wants to compete in the best league.”
