The powerful politician behind the hiring of Mario Balotelli to play in Serie B in Italy

There was a time when Mario Balotelli was destined to be the successor of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, but his career gradually deflated due to his inconsistency. Mario Balotelli is a very eccentric player that you don't know what to expect, one day he is the best and the next day he is training in the fourth division in Italy. That is why a powerful politician convinced him to return to play in the second division of Italian soccer.

Mario Balotelli's last team was Brescia from Serie B but after being released and having problems with the leaders, Balotelli went to train with a fourth division team awaiting the call of a professional team. That was how Silvio Berlusconi would have convinced Mario Balotelli to return to Serie B.

Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is the current owner of Monza, where Balotelli will play next season. Berlusconi was a very mediatic politician for having various personal problems and excesses when he was prime minister and for this reason he temporarily moved away from politics. Berlusconi's eccentricities could be compared to what Balotelli does.

In this way, the Series B Monza will become Mario Balotelli's new team and much is due to Silvio Berlusconi owning the team. We will have to see what the current state of Mario Balotelli is like and if he can show that he still has several years of career left. Without a doubt, for Monza he is a great addition.
