As early as 2 months ago, there was news that the Italian national team would re-recruit Balotelli, which triggered a lot of discussion among fans. However, 2 months have passed, and Balotelli, who played well in the Turkish Super League, did not impress Mancini, and the latest batch of Italian national team squad did not appear in the name of Bashin, replaced by Cagliari's 30-year-old goalscorer Pedro. The news was definitely a huge blow to Balotelli, who has not returned to the national team for three years and has contributed 12 goals and 4 assists this season, but still has not been able to win himself a near entry into the national team.
In fact, many fans have even forgotten that Balotelli is still playing football, and they all think that he has retired, after all, there has been no news of him for a long time, and only in some funny highlights on the football field can you see Balotelli's shadow. However, the 31-year-old has not given up his career and is still active in football, but currently plays for Adana, a team in the Turkish Super League. This team is currently ranked fifth in the Turkish Super League, and Balotelli is their most goal-scoring player this season, has scored 12 goals for the team, and can deliver 4 assists, in the most recent game, it is a 1 goal and 1 assist, but unfortunately failed to help the team win the game.
In the current collective downturn of Italian shooters, Mancini did consider Balotelli in order to meet the next World Preliminary European Zone play-offs, but in the end he did not make up his mind and did not take this risk. Judging from the history of playing for the national team in the past, Balotelli has contributed wonderful performances and staged funny pictures, but it cannot be denied that If Balotelli, who has excellent speed and physical coordination, can actually create a miracle if he can stay awake. In a recent Turkish Super League game, he staged heel assists, and this performance has proved Balotelli's talent.
This time Mancini's choice can actually see his strategy in the selection of people, not choosing Balotelli does reduce a lot of risks, but also less opportunity to create miracles, if the team in the deadlock, whether it can break the deadlock is the key to testing Mancini. If you choose Balotelli, perhaps in the case of falling behind in the game, arranging Bashin to play can really create a miracle, after all, Mancini helped Manchester City win the first Premier League title, that is, Balotelli assisted Aguero to score a valuable goal, so that Manchester City really completed the transformation to a super team.
From the actual situation, the 31-year-old Balotelli has actually calmed down a lot after a turbulent and displaced life, and rarely appears when "thinking about life", in the Tuchao, Serie A, Balotelli has contributed all his energy. At present, he may no longer be the wind-chasing teenager, but the calm Ba Shen has enough talent to gain a foothold in the top league, and there are already a number of teams in the five major leagues associated with Balotley. However, this time he failed to be selected for the national team, which is a big blow for Balotelli, and I hope he can come out on his own.
