Adriano Galliani spurs Mario Balotelli on.

“Mario is a player who, with the technical and physical means he has, should have done much more,” Galliani said.

Adriano Galliani, with Ansa, dwelt on the deal that also brought Mario Balotelli to Monza. “I chastised him a lot, I told him that this is really the last, the last, the last call,” the adman of the Brianza club recounted. “I love him. Mario is a player who with the technical and physical means he has had to do much more. He has glimpsed sublime qualities, it is not clear why he cannot go on. He is only 30 years old.”

“President Berlusconi is enthusiastic, he gave me the okay: he was very happy, I put Mario on the phone to him and he talked to him. The boy behaved very well, as a friend: he accepted a low fixed part with variables linked to appearances and promotion to A. And his agent Raiola, who took no commissions, also behaved very well,” Galliani added.
