Italy, Ventura:"We haven't received positive signals from Balotelli. Berardi wants to become a protagonist"

In the past three days, the Italian national team has hosted young players from both Serie A and Serie B at Coverciano. Manager Giampiero Ventura got to watch some intriguing prospects for the future up close, and today he spoke to the media about some key Italian players:"Berardi wants to be a protagonist, he's returning to being the Domenico we know and is healing. He needs to return to the level he was at before the injury. Regarding Verratti he's the future of the national team, so I hope he always feels well because he has ability to determine matches. Gagliardini doesn't surprise me, I selected him before everyone knew him. Balotelli? We'll have to have a conversation with Mario. His talent isn't up for debate but with the rest there aren't positive signals. The facts say that Balotelli needs to change, let's hope he does because it would be a shame not to take advantage of his talent"
