25 minutes left until his clause expires.
Speaking to Gente, Wanda Nara, the wife and agent of Mauro Icardi, once again comments on her husband’s exclusion from the World Cup in Russia.
“It was no surprise to him that Sampaoli did not invite him to the World Cup because there were other players who deserved to say goodbye to the Seleccion by playing in their final World Cup. They were bad obviously. They now need a coach with character, one that is not influenced when he makes choices. We all want Argentina to be world champion.
“I told Sampaoli that Mauro is the best 9 that Argentina has. But he is also one that can change the squad in a positive way. He is a leader, captain and has positive personality.”

Wanda and her big mouth are the two main reasons why Icardi wasn't at the World Cup... She has to understand that with comments like these she is not making Icardi any popular in the Argie dressing room.

There's nothing wrong with her statement if we're being honest.
Her statement is spot on. I said before the WC that all the players that were in previous WCs shouldn't have been selected instead of Messi.
I did not say she is wrong, what she said is true. Its just stupid to say it, and that doesn't help Icardi's cause. At times like this, its best to be mature and diplomatic and either say positive things about the future or just stay quiet...
Imagine if Icardi was a RB and she was talking about Zanetti (instead of Messi, Aguero, etc). I would feel quite annoyed. For no reason, Wanda may have created friction with Icardi's future team mates and possible coaching staff & fans as well. Its a pointless statement which does not help in any way.
Saying she is stupid to say it is ur opinion, i dont think its stupid neither does she, thats the truth and she was entitled to say it. It may or may not help is cause, u saying it doesn't is also ur opinion.
If you want a chance to do good at international level, u pick ur best players, this is not the first time Argentina has done this, Martinez did it with Naingollan and there are other examples, all these coaches are fucking themselves for no reason.
Of course its my opinion, who else's opinion do you think I would post?
We have a difference of opinion here, I don't think World Cup success is just about picking the best players, its more about selecting & developing a great team spirit where everyone is pulling in the same direction. You don't want locker room clans or infighting within the team. So a coach's choices could be influenced to maintain harmony in the locker room. This is where Wanda's comments may hurt Icardi. Sometimes its better to be diplomatic and magnanimous rather then blurt out the truth as you see it, thats all I am saying.
Also, I watched every Argie game and I am kinda glad Icardi didn't go to that circus. They failed because their teamwork was non-existent and were too reliant on individual play, just like most Argie teams of recent times. I doubt Icardi could have made much of a difference, they struggled to create chances or control the games.
