Mario Balotelli Barwuah
Former AC Monza coach, Christian Bronchi has jumped to the defense of Ghanaian-born Italian striker Mario Balotelli Barwuah as he strongly believes that he is not the bad boy he is perceived to be.
The Italian striker secured a move to newly-promoted Turkish side Adana Demirspor in the ongoing transfer window after a short spell in Italy’s Serie B with AC Monza last season.
Balotelli’s contract was not renewed following the club’s inability to secure promotion to the Serie A last season.
However, Christian Bronchi who shared the dressing with the forward said the bad boy label stuck on him does not correspond to reality.
He said: “In any case, with his six goals, he made an important contribution. always had a great feeling about him, ever since we were in Milan. The bad boy label stuck on him does not correspond to reality. He is a player with indisputable qualities, for me, he is still one of the strongest strikers around today”.
Balotelli scored five times in nineteen games for Monza last season.
