Mauro Icardi at Inter was the perfect embodiment of Being And Time heideggeriano.
Have you ever imagined Mauro Icardi read “Being and Time” sitting in the seat of one of his many private jets? Well, if you’ve never done it, don’t worry because I thought of it. The story of the Argentine footballer is a football phenomenology that, since its inception, has remained imprinted in my head, becoming a real obsession over time. It was born, like the most classic love stories, from a feeling of hate.
An incredible anger, mixed with admiration (and therefore jealousy?) that pervaded me with every goal scored against the Juventus defense. “How is it possible that this one scores against us every time?”. Lionel Messi? Cristiano Ronaldo? No, much worse. When Icardi played in Italy, I was deeply terrified by what seemed to me to be a human figure with mythological features, an Achaean hero who – unlike Achilles – had no exposed heels to strike to neutralize him. Not even when facing one of the strongest defenses in contemporary football: Buffon, Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini. He was always there, right on time, looking at us challengingly, with hands behind ears and the ball in the net.

A natural gift, an instinct for the extreme rationalization of two phenomena as uncontrollable as space and time. I have never seen anyone who, unconsciously, loved Martin Heidegger how she loved him Maurito Icardi and I have never seen anyone who, even more unconsciously, had theorized the game of the Argentine center forward as the German philosopher did.
Two simple terms to describe the absurd, perhaps incomprehensible, relationship between two people and characters so distant from every point of view: Being And Time, Being and Time. The ontological question arises from a moment of rupture with the past, Milito is part of traditional metaphysics and analyticsIn fact, upon Icardi’s arrival at Pinetina, Diego has now become a “simple presence” and is no longer able to respond to modern anxieties about the meaning of being, or the age-old philosophical problem about who, in the future, would score. the goals of the future Inter.

Mauro – already weaned from a first season in Serie A with Sampdoria in which he immediately pierced Juventus with a double at the Stadium – spends the first year learning and perfecting the condition of the ontological entity and its essence, begin to understand the spaces and minutes neededso that, finally freed from the cumbersome present temporality, he can express himself in all his possibilities, finally becoming the “Dasein”, being-there. The world into which man is thrown is nothing more than his small area for the Argentine. A place where, using any tool possible (the bodies of the world) such as a long cross, a dribble, a wrong exit by a goalkeeper or a rebound, manages to actively interact with his own space, ready to realize and build his own project of humanity.
The ball is the tool that gives meaning and meaning to Mauro Icardi’s life and goals. For four years he intensely lives his project of being, all the entities in the world assist him in the supreme fulfillment of this ritual practice. Temporality is his best qualityperhaps no player has ever been able to exploit it like him: cleverly escaping the simple present, he is constant in finding himself in the right place at the right time.
The culmination of his personal space-time project has tended towards perfection for years, reaching its peak on 21 October 2018 during an Inter – Milan match. A dull derby, few shots on goal and even less good play, but lots and lots of tension. Icardi is as if he were alone in the middle of the pitchseems to be slowly moving on to an idea Sartrian of existence, lost in his projects of being, unable to find the answer, he is now doomed to loneliness and nausea. But temporality is constitutive of being there, it is its meaning, its reason and no one, as we have said, knows how to exploit temporality like him.

Therefore, Icardi is the dasein for excellence. As such, he knows how to exploit and exploits all the entities given by the world at that moment: on Donnarumma’s wrong exit, a header arrives that restores vitality to that project of being thrown onto the earth. Ninety-second minute, ball in the netarms open to gather all the essence and existence of San Siro, being and time.
On the other hand, we are still on the football scale and what Mauro does every time is none other than that theatrical representation of a myth, making it real through his classic ritual. The usual space-time coincidence that transforms his game into a salvific and purifying ceremony. The obsession with being and continually confirming oneself, personifying that aspect of the ritual that Lévi-Strauss defines “maniacal and desperate”. It is in this moment that Icardi leaves the physical confines of the pitch to enter a new metaphysical system of rites-myths which, in the regularity of his markings, manifests itself and asserts itself under the profanity of the actors present on the pitch and in the stands.
It is therefore in the anthropological dimension of the Heideggerian phenomenon that a step forward is taken. As the anthropologist claims Ernesto De Martinohuman life is intrinsically linked to critical moments on the relative presence in the world, placing the individual faced with an anguish that paralyzes and frightens him.
But Maurito doesn’t fit in, he has to be in the world,”Should exist”.
To do it, for being-therecannot do anything other than mark: it is only in the act of sacralizing, which occurs through his mythical-ritual system, which escapes the mystery of presence. The continuous representation of the goal therefore becomes what saves it. Icardi is exhausted, he shirked this time too. He runs alone, he looks around, but finds nothing but himself, in the loneliness of its repetitivenessstands above the billboards and in the madness of that moment, he knows that no one really understands the effort he has just made.
After all, it is Heidegger’s fault if he is condemned to an authentic and not inauthentic life like everyone else. It is Heidegger’s fault if after the Milan Derby, the nine Argentine finds himself realizing that all this escape from history it is nothing more than fiction and these rites are only the illusion that it is possible to determine a continuity with the myth and a false presence in history.
The impossibility of escaping presents him with all the possibilities that the world offers him, including the end, cancellation, death. Being-for-death remains the only option truly authentic and proper, because as long as this being exists, it will always remain a possibility. Thus, he runs out and ends his project by making it coincide with the last year of his stay at Inter, flying to the city of Jean-Paul Sartre.
Icardi is the man who was able to deceive the world that he was and was capable of entering and escaping from historicity only thanks to his goals. In the Parisian nausea, “dies” however honoring the German philosopherreiterating how authentic existence is the nothingness of every project and the nothingness of existence itself.
