Mauro ICARDI: “It surprised me to be on Olympics list”

Mauro ICARDI has commented on being chosen for the preliminary list of players for the 2016 Olympics. He also spoke about the National Team, Maxi LOPEZ and more.

“I’m a fan of Newell’s. My idol as a kid was Lucas BERNARDI”.

“It surprised me to be in the preliminary list for the Olympics because they said I wouldn’t be on it. It is great to be on the list for the Olympics because it is a reward for my performances at Inter.”

“I understand the media coverage regarding my relationship with Wanda. But it’s been 3 years. I prefer they judge me for my playing. Only in Italy do they talk about me for my goals. I’m wearing the armband that ZANETTI used to wear. Everyone knows how I am in the Inter locker room. But in Argentina, no one knows me”.

“Argentina has the best forwards in the world. My biggest honor would be playing with the National Team.”

Regarding his personal life between his wife Wanda and his former team-mate Maxi LOPEZ:
“I was a friend of the couple, an acquaintance, and it was all very normal. After that, he and Wanda split up and we kept in touch, and it just happened. I fell in love, that’s something you should judge solely on its own merits. But he was not my best friend or anything like that. We were team-mates at Sampdoria and nothing else.”

Hello everyone,
I’d like to begin implementing more often la Primera División Argentina as well into our discussions.  It is after all where all our amazing players from la seleccion began their careers.  I know a lot of us may not be as familiar with this league as it doesn’t have as much exposure as the European Leagues, but it is definitely an exciting league to keep track of.
Here is this weekend’s schedule.  Some great matches I will be definitely be keeping an eye on are: Estudiantes vs Newell’s, Independiente vs San Lorenzo, River vs Velez, Huracan vs Racing, Argentinos vs Boca and Rosario Central vs Gimnasia La Plata.  I always like watching Martin Benitez, Nicholas Tagliafico (Independiente), Gustavo Bou (Racing), Adrian Cubas (Boca), Santiago Ascacibar (Estudiantes), Lucas Alario (River), Giovani Lo Celso and  Franco Cervi (Central).  There are many more that we can discuss here.

Hey everyone!

It’s a pleasure to present to you with my first posting! Thank you for all the warm wishes and support, I really appreciate it. I am here to assist the mundoalbiceleste team so that we can continue growing. I will try to incorporate more of the Primera Division as well as I know you guys have been requesting this. You guys are going to love the new changes coming up very soon!

So as Gerardo “Tata” Martino cannot win at the Monumental stadium, it looks like AFA have decided to play all their remaining friendlies and qualifiers of 2016 in the interior of the country. What do you guys think of this? Do you guys think this a good idea? I personally think it is a great idea as it looks like there is more passion in the interior. What has happened to the fans in Buenos Aires!?

I’ve summed up our upcoming home matches below:

Friendly:
May 27: There has been a friendly confirmed vs Honduras but the location in Argentina has not been determined as of yet. It will be a send off before the boys depart for the Copa America.

Qualifier:
September 1st: at the Malvinas Argentinas Stadium in Mendoza VS Uruguay.

Qualifier:
October 11: at the Mario Alberto Kempes Stadium in Córdoba VS Paraguay.

Qualifier:
November 15: at the Bicentenario Stadium in San Juan VS Colombia.
