InterTV launched their show Inter drive where a Nerazzurri player is interviewed whilst driving home. In today's episode it was Inter captain Mauro Icardi's turn to talk on a wide variety of subjects.

"The Volvo car is very comfortable, above all for families. I like to drive, I’m used to driving fast cars" he started before moving on to his new tattoo: "I’ve only just finished the tattoo, I’ve already got Francesca and to mark her first birthday I chose to get a tattoo of her as well."

The Nerazzurri captain was asked about his blonde hair stating that: "I got the blonde hair because I had to record an interview with Susana Gimenez who is very famous in Argentina. She and Wanda are both blonde and I did it for that occasion. My hat collection? I have a lot of them, it’s a passion I’ve had since I was small. Now, I choose the ones I like and I can wear a lot of them. I know fantasy football, I know that a lot of people say they spend a lot to get me. Who would I buy? Hmm, Immobile he’s scoring a lot of goals this year. My favourite genre of music? I don’t have one in particular, I listen to a lot of Argentine rock, reggaeton, cumbia and Argentine folklore, even if hardly anybody likes it I inherited this passion from my father."  

Icardi was then asked about the fact that he could have chosen to play for Italy stating that "I want to thank Italy for all that it has given me but I feel Argentine. To play with the Argentina shirt is something special, there are lots of great players there. To return to the National Team is wonderful and emotional. It was my dream. I these four years I’ve done a lot for Inter to earn my place with La Seleccion.”

The Inter captain then revealed that he loves scoring against Juventus because "it’s the Italian ‘Clasico’, to score against a rival is always nice. Hattrick against Milan? It was a unique feeling for all Interisti, to win the derby like that. I also had the sense of regret about the penalty missed against Milan. I really felt the affection from the fans, especially from the youngest wins."
