Spalletti has ripped into Icardi

Spalletti said: To have to negotiate with a player to get him to play and wear the Inter shirt is humiliating, for the fans and his team-mates.Do I have to email his lawyers before I can select him?Today, Mauro Icardi had to be left out because of the way he has behaved, it’s only fair that the others play. It’s a question of credibility.

You must have respect and the right behaviour in the dressing room. The coach must be credible and recognised as someone who will do the right thing.Sergej Milinkovic-Savics 12th-minute header was enough to condemn Inter to a second defeat in four league games.But Spalletti refused to blame the poor result on Icardis absence. He added: How many defeats, worse than this one, have we had with Icardi on the pitch?Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo make a difference but there are very few like them.Professionalism and self-respect are everything. Discipline is everything.
