"Milan" club and Italian national team forward Mario Balotelli expressed in his Twitter account that in case of victory against Costa Rican footballers, he wants to receive a kiss on the forehead from the Queen of England.
On Friday evening, led by Cesare Prandelli, the Italians will play their second match in Group C of this championship. Their opponent will be the Costa Rican national team, which defeated Uruguay.
Yesterday, after losing to Uruguay, the English need to wait for gifts from Italy to advance to the tournament quarterfinals - victories against Costa Rica and Uruguay, and to win against their Italian opponents in the last group match today.
Scoring a winning goal against the English, M. Balotelli decided to joke in his Twitter account: "If we beat Costa Rica, I want a kiss on the forehead from the Queen of England".
"I feel very calm at the moment, I don't feel any pressure. I want to go as far as possible in the World Cup. My personal goal is to score as many goals as possible, but the most important thing is that the team plays well and progresses", - assured the 23-year-old footballer.
Lately, M. Balotelli has been linked a lot with London's "Arsenal" club, but he himself stated that any possible deals will be sorted out after the championship.
"I don't know anything about any transfers and my future. We will see what happens after the World Cup", - said the controversial forward.
Last season, the Italian scored 19 goals in 41 official matches in the ranks of "Milan".
