Spalletti: It's humiliating to ask Icardi to play, he is not Messi
Inter Milan lost at home ground against Lazio and additionally
complicates their position in the UEFA Champions League.
Coach Spalletti did not call Mauro Icardi for this match, although the striker has been training with the rest of the team for a week. Spalletti after the match was furious and described the situation around Icardi in detail, remained consistent in his position and believes that the striker still has no place in the team.
"It's very humiliating for me to beg someone to wear Inter's shirt. Due to the way he behaves, he must remain outside the team. If we speak realistically, Icardi was ready for a thirty minute game, maybe for a whole half, but that's not the point. The point is that in the team we have players who die for this club and when it does not do our best. "
"As a coach I have always had credibility in my 22-year career. I have always had the support of the players and they have mine. What I have for the task is to choose the players who will play, I think I was right when I decided to play the others, and Icardi should not be a reserve, "Spalletti said.
"People say we lost a lot of games without Icardi, but the team did not make it into the Champions League for years when Icardi was standard. Inter has lost much worse games than this with Lazio with Icardi in the squad. He does not make a difference on the pitch like Messi. I think that it is humiliating to send a player through a lawyer to wear the jersey of Inter, "the coach of" Nerazzurri "concluded.
