Inter Milan coach Mazzarri cools furious touchline row with Icardi

Inter Milan coach Walter Mazzarri played down an apparent touchline row with Mauro Icardi during their 2-2 draw with Hellas Verona.

Icardi struck both of Inter's goals yesterday.

Mazzarri said: "Mauro thought I was telling him off for the goal, but I had told him to stay on for another 30 seconds before the substitution, so it was a misunderstanding. I have a great rapport with Icardi, perhaps one of the best I've had with a player at club level.

"We were all tense at that moment, as we conceded an avoidable goal and could've had three points."
