„Nice“ sniper and well-known footballer Mario Balotelli has not been wearing the national team jersey for quite some time.
The forward has not represented the Italian national team since the 2014 World Cup. Although it was announced that M. Balotelli could receive a call-up to represent Italy in friendly matches - the footballer did not hear the coach's call.
Nevertheless, Luigi Di Biagio, who temporarily holds the position of head coach and ignores M. Balotelli, received advice from Claudio Ranieri.
„In France, he is very important and can determine the outcome of the match. He needs a test with the national team to see if the guy has matured,“ - C. Ranieri told the Italian press.
