Montella: Balotelli's skills are not lost, and the 31-year-old has no time to waste

Live bar January 25 news Italy announced the new national team roster, 31-year-old Balotelli successfully selected. Balotelli currently plays at Demir Sport in the Turkish Super League, where he is headed by former Milan boss Montella. In an interview with The Milano Sport, Montella talked about Balotelli's return to the Italian national team.

On the reasons for Balotelli's return to the national team

First of all, it's thanks to Balotelli himself. However, this is only the first step forward for Balotelli, who wants to be on the world cup and perhaps he needs to help the national team pass the World Cup play-off first. However, things need to come step by step, and his ability to return to the national team has brought great satisfaction.

About how he felt about Balotelli's return to the national team

I was very pleased. When I heard that Balotelli had been called up for the national team, although my joy was different from his, it was similar. I know how much Balotelli cares about this. When I say he's obsessed with returning to the national team, I'm not kidding.

About the efforts that Balotelli put in

We have done a great deal of work in restoring Balotelli's physical fitness. At the end of December last year, we almost achieved our goal. Unfortunately, the covid-19 pandemic prevented him from showing up on the pitch for weeks.

About Balotelli's technical capabilities

Just like a boxer's punch, Balotelli's technical ability is not lost. His technical level is not comparable to that of many people. In his final game in December, he scored a free kick from 30 metres from his opponent's goal. On Saturday, he scored a goal after his comeback and gave an assist to his younger teammates, and we beat our opponents 5-0.

Balotelli's career could have achieved more, but there's little point in thinking about it now or regretting what happened or didn't happen. His greatest strength is to continue to believe in himself. After everything that happened, he was still able to wear a blue shirt.

On whether this is Balotelli's last chance

Considering balotelli was 31 years old, he didn't have time to waste anymore.
