Balotelli starts for Italy Azzurri in qualifying campaign

 

Here we go again, today he's the bad boy of football and the next the saviour of it. Just after the revelation of the Italian Coach that he would have dropped Mario Balotteli, he helps Italy get the convincing win they need to silence some their critics despite playing virtually the entire second half with 10 men at home to Denmark.

 

Italy had gone 2 goals up in the space of five first-half minutes from Riccardo Montolivo and Daniele De Rossi eight minutes before the break. Denmark then got a goal in the first half injury time through William Kvist Jorgensen.

 

Then, just 18 seconds into the second half, Italy's Pablo Osvaldo was shown red for violent conduct after an incident involving Denmark's Nicolai Stokhom.

 

However, Cesare Prandelli's men though unimpressive in their World Cup qualifying campaign so far, did not let that throw them off stride as Balotelli-making his first appearance for Italy since Euro 2012 fired in a third in the 54 minute to seal the victory for Italy. Italy won 3-1

 

 

Why always me!!!
