Il video which has started to circulate on social someone called it “worrying” because seeing Mario Balotelli staggering and then collapsing to the ground it’s not exactly an edifying image. The former striker (also of the national team) is the protagonist of a sequence of a few seconds, recorded in Lignano Pineta, in which precisely he has a lot of difficulty walking, then he collapses to the ground and has difficulty getting back on his feet. In the background, the laughter of those who witnessed the scene. It all happened on the evening in which Spalletti’s Italy was eliminated from the European Championship and the national team’s defeat had led Balotelli himself to publish a story on Instagram with a video of an old goal of his at Euro 2012. A tease not even too veiled.
“He had a late night, these are the after-effects of a very heavy hangover”, someone’s verdict. “He celebrated like this” according to others who joked about these images and at the same time about Italy’s exit from the European Championship. On one thing, however, most of the users who commented on that video agree: the little clarity of Balotelli in those seconds that made the rounds on social media was not a pretty sight.
