Rome, 21 Mar Italian striker Mario Balotelli declared on Monday that he is “happy” with what he has achieved in his club career, although he confessed that he needs to achieve something “at the national level” and that “it is never too late”. “I'm happy with what I did. I won everything at the club level, I just miss something at the national level. It's the only thing I can regret, but it's never too late,” he said in an interview with DAZN. Last January, the ariete, who plays for Turkish Adana Demirspor, received a call from the Italian coach, Roberto Mancicni, to play matches with 'Azzurra' after three years without being on a national team roster. However, the coach decided not to include him to compete in the crucial repechage, in which Italy will play its presence in the Qatar 2022 World Cup against North Macedonia, next Thursday in the semifinal and, in case of victory, against the winner of Turkey-Portugal on March 29. “The last call was unexpected, it was really exciting. Now let's hope that Italy will go to the World Cup, then maybe we'll even think about winning it. Macedonia is not an easy team to play, it should not be underestimated, as is Turkey,” he said. “Mancini is the coach I love the most in my career. He made me debut at Inter, despite the many strikers there were. He had the courage to get me in and I don't think all the coaches would have done it,” the striker added about the Italian coach. Balotelli wants to go to the World Cup, but thinking further, the former Inter and Milan player revealed that he is in love with Naples: “I see it hard. If it weren't for (Aurelio) De Laurentiis (owner and president of Naples), he would have been in Naples for ten years. I am in love with Naples and have told my representative, Mino Raiola, several times that I would have liked to play there.” “Finding talent would also be nice, although I don't rule out talking to young people to tell the things about my career, what I did right and what I did wrong to warn them right away. I have had a lot of experiences and it would also be good because it could save them a lot of problems. Or maybe I'll become a journalist,” the 31-year-old attacker sentenced. CHIEF tf/lm
