Mauro Icardi is off to a great start this season, as he has compiled eleven goals in the first ten matches. He is coming off a hat trick against Milan and a brace Tuesday against his former club, Sampdoria. His hot start has also led his club, Inter, to get off to a great start that sees them in second place. He spoke to Rivista Undici about the season, "This isn't down to luck, in the preseason we trained very hard and changed everything. The manager is very attentive, and we have in our heads the objective that everyone is asking of us: from the club to the president down to the last person here. We must return to the Champions League. The scudetto? I can't say, I only have the idea in my head of the work we must do."
"To be the captain of this club isn't difficult for me because I have the personality to do it. This is my mission and I am honored. The person who wanted me at Inter the most was the former president, Massimo Moratti. He insisted on taking me from Sampdoria. Then there was Piero Ausilio, who spoke of everything with my father, and then cared for my interests. They were the ones who defined the operation that brought me here."
