The head coach of the Italian national team, Cesare Prandelli, insisted that before the match he warned Mario Balotelli about yellow cards, but the latter, after scoring a goal, confidently once again showed off his physique.
Yesterday, the A group match took place, in which the teams of Italy and Mexico clashed. The decisive victory was snatched by the leader of "AC Milan".
In football rules, it is always stated that a player who takes off his jersey will be punished with a yellow card. M. Balotelli has already received a yellow card for this not the first time - at the EURO 2012 tournament, the Italian also showed off his muscles after scoring a goal.
"Everyone saw Mario's muscles, that's enough now," the coach said. "I warned him just before the match. In fact, I'm not blaming him, emotions take over."
The player himself explained that he did not know that the rule of yellow cards also applies in this tournament, where accumulating cards results in a one-match disqualification.
