Italy striker Mario Balotelli said he almost did not follow the performances of the national team at Euro 2020.

" To be honest, it hurts me to watch the games of the national team without my participation.. This team won the Euro without me so they totally deserve it.

If I had been in the physical condition that would have allowed me to play at the European Championship, we would have won even easier,"

Recall that Balotelli, who now plays for the Turkish Adana Demirspor, was called up to the training camp of the Italian national team for the first time since 2018..

Italy will play against North Macedonia in the play-off semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup qualification on March 24. In the final, “squadra azzurra” can meet with the winner of the pair Portugal – Turkey.
