Head coach Nantes Claudio Ranieri believes that the forward of Nice Mario Balotelli deserves a challenge to the national team.

In recent weeks, there is a lot of talk about whether it is worth the head coach of Italy Luigi Di Biagio call in the team Balotelli.

According to Claudio Ranieri, Mario should be able to show himself.

"Here, in France, Balotelli decides the fate of matches," Claudio said in an interview with Radio Uno.

"In my opinion, he needs to give a chance in the Italian team".

"Mario must hold at least one fight in order for us to see if he really has matured," Ranieri said..

Earlier midfielder of the Italian national team Marco Parolo said that Squadre Azzurre does not need Balotelli, because she has an Immobile.
