Balotelli was tempted by Brescia more than Flamengo's money. And Cellino dreamed of a coup

 These are important hours: Mario must choose between a Brazilian super offer and a heart proposal. But the idea of returning to Italy as a protagonist and regaining the national team can be decisive

Either today or forever. But still in the last hours the Lombard club's leadership had approached Mario, he tried to make him understand how important someone was with his qualities to Brescia, only returning to A after nine years. And you know, Mario has a soft heart under a hard shell. Yes answer for Brescia will also be an important signal for Roberto Mancini. CT. Blue can have it under his eyes every week and convince himself that the motivated Balotelli, again the protagonist in Serie A, will also be a resource for the National team.
