The former striker of the national team shares a message on Instagram in which he ironically responds to those who offended him for that clip that saw him rolling on the ground in the street. “I was just having fun with friends. After a national team like this, this is the news that has to come out? Come on, guys… let’s think about serious things”.
Through a social story, Mario Balotelli wanted to clarify what we really see in the clip in which he staggers.
The video on Mario Balotelli who staggers and falls on the street in Lignano Sabbiadoro has had a great reverberation on social media. As usual, when it comes to the former striker of the national team, every attitude catches the eye and becomes the object of ridicule, speculation, insinuations. And he has intervened on social media to defend himself, deny and, even more, silence the background buzz that often accompanies him. In fact, he also takes a jab at the Azzurri coming off the terrible performance against Switzerland at the European Championships.
Balotelli’s response to the video of him staggering in Lignano
From that “why always me” (“Why always me?”) shown when he was a Manchester City player to today nothing has changed. Even after a terrible night like the one of Italy in Luciano Spallettipelted and eliminated from the tournament in Germany with a shameful defeat, there seems to be nothing else to do but point the finger at the antics of the Adana player.
“Anyway, I wanted to say that I saw the video where we fall, roll, jump, run with friends… Should I be judged for this just because we are having fun and joking without hurting anyone? And yet I often share videos, photos with other people, I am always very available… why don’t you talk about those too and show them?”.

The jab at the Azzurri out of the European Championships: “After an Italy like this…”
Balotelli is sitting, staring straight into the camera, smiling with irony and bitterness. He has the look of someone who seems to say: are you there or are you pretending? He is used to it, in the course of his life and career he has seen and heard all sorts of things about himself. He continues to be pursued by the somewhat exaggerated fame of a bad boy, of a boy who wastes his talent, of an eternal promise that never explodes despite the opportunities he has had. It is as if he is now considered a sort of trouble magnet.
Super Mario, however, is not having it and has a thought-provoking last word in store. “After an Italy like this, the news that has to come out is that I’m drunk? Come on, guys… let’s think about serious things”. It’s the gloss between a snort and a half smile. How can you blame him?
At the end of the short message on Instagram. Balotelli also takes a swipe at the national team eliminated from the European Championships.
Super Mario’s Social Stories: From Martial Arts to a “National Team-Level Right”
Balotelli shares almost everything on his social media profiles. Among the most recent is one in which he shows himself during a mixed martial arts training: both in the ring and doing push-ups and preparation exercises. In yet another he gives a taste of his technical potential: he takes aim and hits, with a precise shot, the target ball that a goalkeeper is holding in one hand. “Am I still on the national team?”he asks in the short clip. The execution leaves a bittersweet impression: in this Italy without strikers, which tickles the opponents, a footballer like Super Mario would have been useful. Too bad it all ended in cards and 48 some time ago.
