The words of the technician on the first meeting with the center forward
During an interview with So Foot’s microphones, Lucien Favre, a former Nice coach, told of his first encounter with Mario Balotelli, when the center forward signed for the French club: “The first time I saw Balotelli, I was shocked. I was with Mino Raiola and President Rivère to complete the transfer. He wore a suit, went down to his shins … The way he was dressed was really impossible! But in Nice it was magnificent because he was happy and felt satisfied on the field. I was headed with him. He is ready to listen to you, even if he doesn’t always do what you ask after. This is his problem … Balotelli will never return to the highest levels: and it’s a shame “.
