The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 international centre-back rushed to cover the Manchester City striker’s mouth, after his controversial reaction to scoring the goal against Ireland.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mario-Balotelli-c23937 has cut a controversial figure throughout this tournament, from his reactions to being substituted during la Nazionale’s group matches to his comments against racism from the crowd. He has also been criticised for his indecisiveness and
finishing when through on goal.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Antonio-Di-Natale-c6306. The Manchester City striker was successful in breaching the Irish goal in the 90th
minute with an absolutely brilliant goal, and he chose not to celebrate the goal. Instead, he started shouting loudly towards the Italian bench, and many were of the opinion that the rant was aimed at the Italian head coach, Cesare Prandelli.
Bonucci has been with the young striker for a long time, from the time when he was 17 years old and through the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/U-17-Youth-team-c40787 of Inter Milan. He stated that the striker was a very passionate person and such outbursts were common for him but that did not make
him a bad guy. He further stated that he was glad to be there at that time to hold Balo’s rant off.
The Juventus defender went on to state that he talked to the forward and he was grateful for his gesture, and went on to state:
“After the game I went to him in the dressing room to congratulate him and to prompt him to only think about playing. Mario thanked me for the gesture and the kind words.”
When quizzed on the differences between the two players he went on to mention that the two players were distinct in nature and further said:
“We are different, temperamentally, he’s instinctive, 21 years old, I have important people around me, I always respect everyone, I try to be myself. Again, he thanked me, and he must only think of fun, realising that what we are paid for as work is fun.”
There remain question marks whether Prandelli would opt for Di Natale or Balotelli for the match against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 on the 24th June.
