Inter, Mauro Icardi responds to furious fans
The Argentinean striker has replied through his official Instagram account, here’s the translation.
“Dear Curva Nord, I am surprised and disappointed. Surprised because I’ve said that in Reggio Emilia I lost my head due to the post-game adrenaline. I just wanted to report the atmosphere of that episode, so much so I’ve also added that I had ‘thrown up’ some exaggerated phrases (and the verb ‘throw up’ gives an idea of ​​how inconvenient my reaction was). With regard to the speech of Argentina murderers, I said that because I had found some fanatics out of my door (pleas note: fanatics, not Curva Nord members) I uttered that phrase, but I also said in the biography
I used threatening words against the fans and I shouldn’t have done that." I'm sorry. Sorry for this fuss that has been created, I simply recounted an incident. Besides, if one had a minimum of salt, he would not risk offending his ‘curva’. If I had been in bad faith I would have used catchy words towards you. I did not want to offend or disrespect anyone.
The captain's armband is the realization of my dreams, it is pure joy for me and my family. I am looking for you each time I score goals on Sundays, your hug is the first one I want. I love Inter. Very soon I will come down 'in the field so I can talk nomore. I hope you understand how important you are to me and how much respect you even if you’d decide to boo me. I ask only one thing as a Captain: stay close to Inter as you have always done, I and my teammates need you. With love Mauro”
