M. Balotelli: mom cried when I said I would play for "Brescia"

The scandalous attacker Mario Balotelli somewhat surprised the football community with his decision.

The 29-year-old Italian became a player for the modest team "Brescia" with which he signed a three-year contract.

Brescia is the city where the player's childhood passed and where he was raised by his foster mother Silvia.

"When I told her that I could come back, she started crying. I tried to ask for her opinion, but she was crying," said M. Balotelli.

He did not hesitate when asked if he can still regain his former athletic form.

"It seems like you are more worried than me. I don't have a single fear.

Everything is fine, I am calm, this is my home."
