Inter, Spalletti: "Icardi and Higuain make your jaws drop, but I choose Icardi."
Inter manager Luciano Spalletti spoke to the press on the eve of tomorrow's Derby della Madonnina against Milan, where all eyes will be on the match-up between opposing strikers Mauro Icardi and Gonzalo Higuain. Read below for Spalletti's thoughts on the two players.
"Icardi and Higuain? They are two players that leave you with your jaw dropped with the way they play. One has certain characteristics a bit different than the other, but both are fundamental for the build up of play for their own teams. Those who say Icardi isn't very technical make me smile. From my point of view it's easy to choose between the two: because one plays for Inter and I pick Inter. We don't need to ask anything from Icardi, because leaving him the way he is is perfect for us. Then there are things that all intelligent people look for to improve upon. Leave him be as is, because I like him like that," concluded the Inter manager.
