Icardi needs a rival not a vice
Inter falls in Crotone and ruined once a season that will end the year for the sixth consecutive season out of the Champions League, and if the performance of the team Pioli will not improve, even from the Europa League. The next games against AC Milan, Fiorentina and Napoli will be critical and so the Nerazzurri will have to hold on with all their strength to the one that, at least in the company's ideas, should be the reference point, the captain, the top player of the team: Mauro Icardi.
MISSING AN AWAY GOAL FROM SEPTEMBER - Because the Argentine striker is in a goal and performance crisis, he is not 100% physically but, above all, has an attitude on the field that reflects the time of the team. Listless, often far away from the action and, in the moment of greatest difficulty, almost never fails to carry the team on his shoulders. The figure that is more worrying is also related to away goals for Icardi, who has not scored a goal from open play away from San Siro now since September 21.
NEED A RIVAL NOT A VICE - Inter is planning the new season on the market and has set its sights on several strikers who could fill the role of Vice-Icardi. At this time Icardi, however, does not need a deputy, but a genuine rival. The tip has shown in recent years that if put under pressure he is made to play his best. Icardi should be stimulated, tickled, also put into question in order to force him to make and always provide 110% performance. A player with different characteristics, but bulky figures like Alexis Sanchez. As was to Eto'o and Milito, Vieri and Ronaldo, Inter have always aimed high with pairs of great strikers. It's time to affix a rival even for Icardi.
