BALOTELLI INSISTS THE AZZURRI WILL
QUALIFY FOR RUSSIA 2018
Mario Barwuah Balotelli claims he
‘respects’ Gian Piero Ventura’s decision
to drop him out of Italy squad to face Sweden in the playoffs but believes
the azzurri will qualify ahead of
Sweden.
Balotelli has not been picked by
Italy for three years, with the situation not changing for the World Cup
playoff against Sweden, but that has not stopped the Nice striker from
supporting the Azzurri in their bid to overcome a 1-0 deficit on Monday.
“I’m not in the national team and
many people have asked me why,” he said in an Instagram video.
“I say: because Ventura’s choices
as CT must be respected, and I respect them.
“The World Cup is too important
and, in the past, the national team have shown that they deserve to be there.
“We must all fight as one and say
‘Forza Azzurri’. To my friend Zlatan, I say: this time we’ll beat you!”
