Italy’s eternal ‘bad boy striker’ insists he should return to the national team

 Italian striker Mario Balotelli (33, Adana Demirspor) claimed that he is still the strongest striker in Italy and should be selected for the Italian national team.

Goal.com, a soccer media outlet, said on the 23rd (Korean time), “Mario Balotelli believes he deserves to be called up to the Italian national team. He insisted that he was still the Azzurri's strongest striker."

Balotelli stood out for his outstanding talent from his childhood and was regarded as a leading player in Italian football. Balotelli, who has been attracting attention since his days as a youth representative, led Italy to second place in the 2012 European Football Championship (Euro 2012) and became a leader in the generational change.

Afterwards, he established himself as Italy's key striker, but was always at the center of issues as his controversial words and actions continued on and off the pitch. In the end, Balotelli was not called up to the Italian national team for the last time in 2018, and he is already approaching his mid-30s.
