Icardi: ‘Pressure on Roma’

Mauro Icardi is “sure Roma will be feeling the pressure” after Inter beat Napoli to keep their Champions League hopes alive.

“I don’t know if it was our best performance of the season, but this is a team that always fights hard. In January we went a bit wrong, but Inter proved today we are a great side,” the hitman told Sky Sport Italia after a 2-0 victory.

Mauro Icardi is “sure Roma will be feeling the pressure” after Inter beat Napoli to keep their Champions League hopes alive.

“I don’t know if it was our best performance of the season, but this is a team that always fights hard. In January we went a bit wrong, but Inter proved today we are a great side,” the hitman told Sky Sport Italia after a 2-0 victory.

“I think we always played with intensity. There was a spell when we didn’t lack intensity as such, but tended to concede goals late on to draw or lose games.

“We all care for each other and want the best for the team.”

Icardi not only found the net today, but he also set up the second goal for Marcelo Brozovic.

“I am happy because I am a striker and I am supposed to score goals. I even provided an assist today, which is not usual for me.

“We are doing well and have picked up three very important points today. I am sure Roma saw the game and will be feeling the pressure.”

The statistics are remarkable for Icardi, as his nine shots have all been on target – two saved and seven in the net.
