After a long break, striker Mario Balotelli, who returned to the Italian national team, does not hesitate to boast. According to the 31-year-old player, he does not lag behind the world's most famous players. "I am one hundred percent convinced that my skill equals the level of play of Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi. Of course, I missed a few opportunities. I can't say now that I am very good, but if we talk only about playing on the field, I have nothing to envy others," - explained M. Balotelli to "The Athletic." Representing the team "Adana Demirspor" this season, the player has scored 10 goals and made 3 assists in 22 matches in the Turkish championship.
