Striker Italy and the French "Nice" Mario Balotelli pretty led his team in the Champions League match.

It should be noted that yesterday the French team flew out of the most prestigious club tournament in Europe, losing to home the Italian "Napoli" with a score of 0: 2. The first meeting between these collectives on the Apennines ended also in favor of the "Parthenians" with a similar result.

An interesting fact is that Balotelli was late in the match yesterday at the beginning of the second half of the meeting, which clearly led his entire team - while the player tried to return to the field, his teammates missed an absolutely optional ball, which decided the fate of the whole meeting.

After this act, the player got from the head coach of the team Lucien Favre, who is very bad about the game of his ward.

"Mario was not today in a stroke, you need to call things by their proper names," - quotes Favre's words lequipe.

"He did too little in the game, I had to replace him before. We began to act better when instead of him came a young football player, whom no one knows, "- concluded the coach of the French team.

Also, the coach was dissatisfied with the actions of Balotelli, when he was in no hurry to leave the field after he was replaced by the 18-year-old Cameroonian Ignatius Kpene-Ganago.

Recall that at the end of June 2017 Balotelli signed the new contract with "Nice".
