Mario Balotelli Hits Out At The Media

Mario Balotelli Hits Out At The Media

Mario Balotelli

Italy bad boy Mario Balotelli has blasted the media after the way they reported his recent comments about Paris Saint-Germain star Edinson Cavani.

Balotelli: Why I Didn't Join Barca

The former Manchester City and AC Milan striker made the headlines this week when he described the Uruguayan forward as "not a phenomenon" and said he rated Angel Di Maria and Radamel Falcao as better players in Ligue 1 during an interview with Christophe Dugarry on French radio station RMC.

Balotelli is now said to be furious that journalists took his Cavani quotes out of context.

"I spoke about amazing young players, I spoke about racism, I spoke about Italy, all those newspaper could get was about the Cavani story… you just ridiculous seriously…," the Italian wrote on Instagram (translated from Italian).

"Seriously don't ask me for interviews again… no one. Balotelli isn't a game, (he) is a person with (an) opinion so get your owns (sic) to judge on it.

"Really isn't the fact of another stupid lie story coming out that bothers me but the fact that I spoke about society real problem and all that they could get was that? That's why the society and new generation will grow weaker and weaker."

Reports: Barca Star Thinking Of Leaving Next Season

"Super Mario" has been in good form for Nice this season, having scored 12 goals in 21 appearances across all competitions so far.
