At Bergamo airport, before taking off for Dubai where he signed up for Al Ittifaq, a second division club in the United Arab Emirates, Mario Balotelli was keen to reconsider his choice of choosing an Emirati project, and also took the opportunity to once again tackle Patrick Vieira, whom he met for a few months at Genoa. After the first clashes at the time of Nice, the two men still do not seem to reconcile.
«It’s a great project. It’s hot there and cold here, so I’m really looking forward to it. I’m even stronger than the others! I received a few calls from Italy, we tried to negotiate, but it was unsuccessful. I think football has changed, there are other players, and it’s good to give them space. I am 35 years old. The national team? I wish Gattuso the best. He inherited a difficult situation, but he is a determined player who follows through on what he does. Genoa? They decided to hire a coach who I didn’t have a good relationship with. If they hadn’t made this decision, I would still be there“. There it is (again) said.
