Mario Balotelli, often characterized as a “bad boy,” has both critics and supporters. Among his supporters is his coach, Clarence Seedorf, who is determined to guide and organize his player.
During the match between Cagliari and AC Milan, where Balotelli scored a goal in the 1-2 victory on the 21st day of Serie A, the striker crossed a line by provoking opposing supporters with inappropriate gestures. Fortunately, his teammate Kaká intervened to defuse the situation and prevent Balotelli from receiving a red card due to his agitation.
Following the match, Rossoneri coach Clarence Seedorf came to the defense of the Italian international during a press briefing. “Mario can always count on me. I’m confident he will continue to progress. We all need to support him. In addition to being an AC Milan player, he is a crucial asset for the national team,” emphasized the Dutchman, who views Mario Balotelli as an integral part of his starting lineup.
