Mario Balotelli has been a quiet figure after returning to homeland
Italy from England to play for AC Milan.
The former Manchester City
player has kept a low profile during his time with AC Milan and has not
been the headline grabbing player he used to be in England.
However a regional Italian politician, Flavio Tosi has hit out at
Balotelli claiming he is a ‘troublemaker’ and accused him of winding up
fans into racism rows.
Flavio Tosi who is the mayor of Verona and represents the separatist Northern League party told Radio Sportiva:
“Mario is a troublemaker. There are lots of black players (in Italy)
and those who don’t wind up opposition fans don’t have any problems.
“Balotelli is a formidable player but he knows how to be irksome when
he’s out on the pitch, and that exasperates people. He even managed to
have issues with Chievo fans, who most certainly are not racist.”
Hellas Verona play AC Milan at home on Saturday in the opening weekend of the Serie A.
