VERONA – Last year's topscorer Mauro Icardi opened his account for the 2015/16 season when he netted the matchwinner against Chievo today, his first since taking over captaincy duties.
After the match he said: "I'd already had this feeling of being captain - a great feeling. It's your duty to score goals when you're a striker. I wasn't worried because I knew it would come sooner or later.
"It was an important goal for the team today and it wasn't easy to score because Bizzarri is a tough keeper to beat. I tried to dink it past him then I tucked it away."
On Inter's Scudetto hopes: "We have nine or ten new players and we're doing really well at the moment. We've made a good start to the season but it's still early to be talking about the title. Juventus won the last four Scudetti and they're favourites. We're working on our understanding: little by little it will all start coming to us automatically."
The Argentine was then asked about his personal growth, both on and off the field. He explained: "I think I've matured with time. I have my family to thank for that as they've always been very close to me. If the team wins, I'm happy."
