The return of the enfant terrible. After four years of absence, Super Mario will make its comeback with the Squadra. Mancini has chosen to summon his “chou-chou” for an internship which will take place from January 26 to 28 near Coverciano.
What is his level of play?
More than ever, Super Mario will keep a special place in Italian football. Who else but him could consider such an improbable return? After bitter failures in Brescia (relegation to Serie B) and Monza in the antechamber of Serie A, the 31-year-old striker found refuge in Turkey. On the side of Demirspor, he regained some of his feelings. With eight goals and three assists in the Super Lig, he is decisive every 111 minutes in the league. Good stats for a top forward. Balotelli’s qualities are always the same: an above average technique and a mule strike. A strength that still allows him to get his team out of certain situations. Like that shot from 30 meters without momentum against Goztepe in December.
