Mario Balotelli can return to the Italian national team. The new Italian national team coach Gian Piero Ventura announced that he wants to talk to the controversial striker. After many misunderstandings, scandals, and poor performances, M. Balotelli lost his place in the Italian national team, but in France his career started to take off.
In the team "Nice," the 26-year-old striker has scored 8 goals. He has not played for the Italian national team since the 2014 World Cup.
"Before announcing the list of candidates for the national team, I will talk to M. Balotelli. We need to discuss his technique, but like previous coaches, we have to deal with a few questions that need to be addressed," said G.P. Ventura.
At the World Cup, the Italian national team was eliminated in the first round. Some blame was placed on M. Balotelli, who supposedly disrupted the team.
M. Balotelli has played for the "Manchester City," "AC Milan," and "Liverpool" clubs, but scandals have followed him.
Over the past two seasons with the "Liverpool" and "AC Milan" teams, M. Balotelli scored two goals. Former Italian national team coach Antonio Conte never even considered inviting the striker.
After last season, M. Balotelli joined the "Nice" team and changed the direction of his chaotic career. He manages to play well and avoid scandals.
"There is no doubt that Mario is a talented player. I have nothing bad to say about him. However, every player, not just M. Balotelli, must sacrifice for the team and have mutual understanding with everyone. There are those who are used to doing this and those to whom it is unfamiliar. After talking to Mario, I will know everything," said the new Italian national team coach.
On March 24, the Italian national team will face the Albanian team in the World Cup qualifying match, and then play a friendly match against the Dutch national team.
