Balotelli: The national team is my foundation, I am sure Italy can qualify for the World Cup

Hupu News on October 13th Among the many guests attending the Trento Sports Festival, former Italian star Mario Balotelli was also included. He was interviewed by the media during the sports festival and reviewed many topics surrounding him.

When to return to action

After a brief spell with Genoa last year, the Italian striker is still without a team. "I am currently at a standstill, but I train several times a week and my physical condition is very good even if I am alone. I have received offers from abroad, but I originally hoped to find a team in Italy. There are currently some offers coming, and I need to decide whether to sign immediately or wait for the January transfer window. "

Italian national team

When wearing the Italian jersey, Balotelli has left many unforgettable moments, such as the goal against Germany in the 2012 European Cup. When talking about the current situation of the national team, he said: "The national team is fundamental to me. This is not to attack anyone, but I can no longer see the hunger of the players, the desire to prove their worth, the pride of representing your country and performing well. All football players used to play for their country with this mentality, but unfortunately I can't see the same thing today. However, I I am completely sure that they can qualify for the World Cup. "

The reason for not being selected for the national team

"I don't know, there is no real problem. Is it because I am not popular with Juventus? I don't know, I can't say that, I have always had a good relationship with everyone, and it seems to me that some people have made different choices based on the opinions of certain people. Is that also a problem? Rarely have I played with a player of his quality who can change things on the pitch. "

The fight against racism

"The topic of fighting racism almost makes me tired to a certain extent. But to be clear, I will never give up. The problem is that racism has its roots deeper within families, not just in the stadium. If you want change, change must start within the family. It is true that there is a lot of teasing in the football world and you have to learn to accept it, but it is also true that some things could have been avoided and to do that, one has to parent in a proper way. "

Chairman Moratti's care

"Chairman Moratti opened up my entire career for me The door, he was really a key figure in the beginning of my career. He put a lot of responsibility on me because you have to produce results. And Mancini, when he was good to me... just kidding, I believe he is still good to me, and I am good to him. "

The jersey throwing incident

"Throwing the jersey after the game against Barcelona? I'm not used to being booed. Inter fans always loved me when I was young and I love them too. I'm not used to hearing my own fans booing me for a mistake. I handled it in that uncool way and I wouldn't do that again today, but it was a special situation and these situations make you grow. Inter Milan was part of my upbringing, but, in my opinion, the Premier League shaped me more. I'm not far from home , but I was alone, my parents were not around, and it was the first time I faced life alone, which is useful because you will do right things and make mistakes, learn from them and mature. "

WhyAlwaysMe

"Wearing a Whyalwaysme? T-shirt in Manchester? I did that the day before with the gear manager, and it was a special time, and I was at the center of a lot of publicity, and it was a fun outlet. In the UK, the media exaggerated. "

Juventus

"All this happened in January 2013. I decided to leave Manchester City. I originally had the opportunity to go to Juventus, but for some reasons, I ended up transferring to AC Milan with my agent "
