"Don't mention 7 to 1, what does it matter if Manchester City beats us 10 to 1? As long as we at Manchester United win the Premier League in the end, their victory is worth nothing!"
[National team and club advancing together! He is the leader of the new generation of forwards in football!]
The domestic newspapers' praise after the match made Icardi somewhat giddy, his ego swelling even more.
At this moment, Icardi, immersed in the brilliant hat-trick performance against arch-rivals Brazil, was still continuously scrolling through Agüero's social media account on the flight back to Manchester.
Thinking to himself, Icardi mused, "He must have seen my hat-trick, right? I wonder if he's feeling very sad holding those crutches while recovering, huh, hehe."
As for the number two forward in the Manchester City team, Bony, Icardi didn't take him seriously at all!
In his view, Bony's ability to score four goals in a match was simply due to luck.
