Manchester City striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mario-Balotelli-c23937 is set to be banned for four games following a stop on Tottenham Hotspur’s Scott Parker. However, his agent has revealed that this decision could force the forward to leave England.
The FA went on to deem the striker’s actions as being violent in nature, despite him insisting that it was accidental. As it stands, Balotelli is more than likely to miss out on four matches for City.
However, the FA has given the player up until Wednesday to respond and make a statement, or he could potentially miss out on even more games.
The player’s agent is furious with the way the FA has conducted themselves in the situation and has insisted that this could potentially urge the striker to leave Manchester City and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 altogether.
When talking about his player and the way he is being treated at the club, Balotelli’s agent is quoted to have said: “I am very angry, Mario has committed an involuntary gesture"
He then went on to target Howard Webb, as he insisted the referee is more than likely to have seen everything and with him insisting that he didn’t see anything, he is just trying to take the easy way out.
“The referee was a coward because he has seen everything.”
“The FA must defend Balotelli, otherwise he may think of leaving England. In the Premier League there are absurd regulations."
After watching the incident on a number of occasions, the footballing experts around the world are split over whether the striker’s actions were intentional or not.
Balotelli was losing his footing and seemed to be placing his leg down to prevent himself from tripping over. However, the force and angle with which he placed his foot down made it look like he was aiming for Parker’s face.
Nonetheless, Balotelli still feels that he didn’t stomp Parker intentionally and he looked genuinely concerned following his actions.
It is now going to be a wait till Wednesday evening to see just how City and Balotelli respond to the FA and whether the striker ends up deciding to walk out of England due to the FA’s harsh decision.
