AC Milan and Italy striker Mario Balotelli still finds it tough to control his temper. When the Italian team arrived in Naples on Sunday evening for their Tuesday’s World Cup qualifier against Armenia, Balotelli, as reported by local media, Sport Mediaset, had struck one of their television cameras and tried knocking it to the ground.
Balotelli seemed in an irritable mood on Sunday morning when he posted a photograph of a headline in the Gazzetta dello Sport via Twitter: “Balotelli is ill, but will be there in Naples as a symbol against the Camorra. This is what you say! I am coming because football is wonderful and everyone should play it where they want, plus there’s a game!!!!” he retorted on Twitter.
But Mario, who suffered from an upset stomach bug, is apparently recovering as he scored a goal in Italy’s game between ranks alongside Giuseppe Rossi upfront. “Mario is feeling better,” said Italy head coach Cesare Prandelli.
Inter captain Javier Zanetti noted his former teammate Balotelli as ‘a jazz musician’ of football and said that he needs to have a cool mind. “I think he needs to find his balance and I hope he does. Mario has immense talent, but he needs to stay calm and do what he knows how to do,” he quoted.
