There's not much time left for Icardi!
A large five-minute timer hangs above Icardi's head, starting to tick-tock.
This is also the Sword of Damocles hanging above his head.
If he doesn't score within five minutes, this sword will fall mercilessly, piercing Icardi's heart.
His strong self-esteem will be insulted by just that!
This is the Milan derby, the most watched match in Italian football, and one of the world's most famous derbies!
If I'm substituted, it means I'm incapable of handling such a major match.
This is Mancini's mid-season 4-2-3-1 tactic, my technical features can only serve as the lone striker!
Being substituted like this means I can't adapt to the coach's tactical play!
What's scarier is, there's someone who can adapt to this play, on the field.
Once I'm substituted, Podolski can immediately take my place as the lone striker.
No matter how I think about it, Icardi feels it's a disastrous blow.
