ICARDI: "IT'S AN HONOUR FOR US YOUNGSTERS TO PLAY WITH A STAR LIKE ZANETTI"

Striker on Inter Nos: "When I learned last year that I was coming here, I texted the captain and told him he should play on for at least another year"

APPIANO GENTILE - "I'm not questioning the coach Sabella's decision, there are lots of top quality strikers around. I'm relaxed, I need to stay calm because I've got at least a couple of World Cups ahead of me that I'll be able to play in." Mauro Icardi spoke to Inter Nos in this season's last episode, tonight on Inter Channel.

'Maurito', as he's been known since his Sampdoria days, then told us that "the hardest defender I've come up against is definitely Juan Jesus, he hammered me last year! Luckily he's now a team-mate of mine.

"I get on with all my team-mates, with the South Americans especially, with Guarin who I've roomed with since last summer's training camp and with Palacio on the pitch, who I'm really comfortable playing alongside. We talk to each other a lot on the field. I was also lucky enough to play for half an hour with Milito against Lazio. He's a footballing icon for me and everyone I'll be delighted if I can play with him on Sunday."

Finally, Icardi had a word on captain Zanetti: "Being at a big club allows us young players to play alongside top stars. It's been emotional spending this year with him. Last year when I found out I was moving here I texted him and told him he should play on for another year. Fortunately I was able to dedicate a goal to him. He will leave behind a big void in the footballing world. Me as captain? No, the last time I did it was when I was a kid, they gave me the armband because I scored goals!"
