Balotelli: "Liverpool and Milan were not the ideal environments. Klopp? I spoke with him only once"

Sky Sport 24's Alessandro Alciato conducted an interview with Mario Balotelli, a day after the striker scored the winning goal for Nice. Balotelli was a guest at the home of Ferrari, at the Scuderia di Maranello racetrack, and commented on his past and present in football: "The last two years at Liverpool and Milan were not the ideal environments. Mario made mistakes at the technical level, there were none that were behavioral. It was the fault of the injuries. That's God's will and I can't do anything about it. I found myself in two places where I wasn't welcomed. Milan? The problem is with the organization. I think that Adriano Galliani is the one person who is phenomenal, and the rest is a mess. Galliani leaving? I think that shows how messed up Milan is. Klopp? He doesn't know me and I don't know him. I was at Liverpool for a month and a half and I spoke with him once. He told me: 'I don't mind if you stay, but you are not first choice. For me it's better if you leave. Play and get on well and then I'm ok with you coming back. Because I like you as a player.' Then I said thank you goodbye we will go our separate ways. At the beginning when I started thinking about going to Nice I was attracted only by the weather and the city. It's a beautiful city, on the sea, and I wanted a quiet but beautiful place. Where you cannot find yourself entering somewhere bad. It seems dumb but it isn't for me. It was one of many reasons, not the first one. It's a young group, many peers, and we play a beautiful style. National team? It's fair that I wasn't called up, I hadn't earned it in the past. Now I think that I want to be called up next time where I can be in top form." @ZekeTell
