“Icardi and Osimhen are great players and very high-quality people. I am very happy to be on the field with them. Of course, the support they give me is very important to me,” he said, as quoted by Webaslan.
“Of course, this motivates me. Yes, names like Icardi and Osimhen give us a lot of confidence on the pitch.”
