Balotelli: ‘I owe my whole career to Inter, but I’m a Milanista at heart’

This season, Mario Balotelli appears in Switzerland in a Sion shirt, but the truth is his thoughts are always on his homeland. The 32-year-old gives an interview to an Italian radio station covering Inter and Milan who shaped him in his first steps in football as well as Jose Mourinho with whom he had a relationship that transcended borders.

“Ever since I was little, I’ve played for fun. My parents always tried to stop me because I wasn’t an ordinary kid.

As a child I didn’t understand my biological parents’ trust in other parents, today I can say that my biological family helped me with this choice.

Now I understand that choice.” “Super Mario” was named first and added meaningfully; “I owe Inter my whole career because he believed in me and encouraged me, I loved it and I still love it very much, but I’m always a Milanista at heart. Mourinho is very nice.

I had a special relationship with him, a beautiful relationship. We have two difficult characters to deal with, we have often argued, but it was a loving conflict between father and son.

Once we got into an argument on the team bus and I asked the bus driver to let me off, got in my car and drove home. Then Inter lost and a mess ensued…

I’ve done a lot of shit in my life, but I’ve always made progress. Inter’s treble? Mourinho made the difference, he brings out the best in you, he pisses you off.

And in order to react, you break everything, releasing all the adrenaline that’s accumulating in your body.
