Mauro Icardi and the hierarchy of attackers : “Slowly ! You have to go step by step. He’s coming back from injury, he only found the group a few days ago. Scoring is good for his confidence, like Pablo (Sarabia). It’s important that he can feel that he has the opportunity to play. But players also have to be prepared when called upon. I expect players to make sure I have tough choices. ”
