Mario Balotelli is a great player, but many times his character plays against him. It happened at Milan, Liverpool, Manchester City and now at Brescia. After a long time, the Italian forward is once again the protagonist of a scandal in Serie A. What happened this time?
It turns out that last Saturday Balotelli destroyed a photographer's camera present at the match between Brescia and Genoa at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium. As recounted on his social networks, Massimo Lovati, the affected person, said that the ex-Milan player took his work equipment as a ball while he was heading to the bench.
Lovati detailed that one of the ball boys warned him about Balotelli's mischief. Now the photographer is asking for the Italian forward to cover the cost of the camera, which would have been rendered useless.
Massimo Lovati reported that Balotelli destroyed his camera.
"When Balotelli was called to the bench, he used the camera as a soccer ball and kicked it against the advertising boards. The ball boy who witnessed it immediately called me to explain what happened. I found that the camera and the amplifier were visibly damaged (the casing was broken), and the camera no longer worked. Imagine venting your frustrations with someone else's work tools!" Lovati exploded on Instagram.
"These are very delicate instruments. I am furious. Respect, you have to have respect for people who work and also for their work tools," added Lovati, who revealed that he had told Edoardo Piovani, the director of Brescia, that he would send the repair bill to the club.
This is how the camera that Balotelli kicked ended up.
