Morosini collapsed in the 31st minute of the Serie B game against Pescara on Saturday, April 14th, and was later confirmed as dead. The midfielder was just 25 years old.
Balotelli, who played with the late midfielder in the Italy Under-21 side, revealed that he was shock to learn that his former team-mate had died. The striker insists that Morosini was a wonderful person, and his death is a big
tragedy for everyone related to the game.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan striker insists that the death of his former team-mate will help him learn a lot in life. He believes that Morosini’s death will teach him a lot, and believes that one should respect the life.
While talking to the news agency, ANSA, Balotelli said:
“He was an absolutely lovely lad. It’s a terrible tragedy that teaches us to reflect on, appreciate and respect life. I was shocked when I heard of Morosini’s death. I couldn’t believe it and hoped it was just some horrible prank.
He was such a nice guy, really golden. This makes me reflect on many things in my life. It teaches me to appreciate life, respect it and experience it with caution and dignity.”
The Calcio Lega authority postponed all the Serie round 33 matches due to the death of the Livorno star. Several players and football managers have mourned the death of the Italian, and have backed the governing body’s decision
to postpone the games.
Livorno have retired Morosini’s number 25 shirt in his respect. All major football leagues also observed a minute’s silence before their respective games at the weekend.
Morosini emerged from the youth setup of Atalanta before moving to Udinese in 2005. After making only five appearances for the Bianconeri, he was sold to Vicenza in 2007. The Zebrette re-signed the player in 2009, but he was constantly
farmed out on loan to Serie B clubs.
The combative midfielder had 141 appearances to his name.
