Liverpool shouted champion in England after 30 years and for the first time in the format of Premier League. A long wait for his fans, although there were occasions where he was close to the title, such as when he came second in 2002, 2009, 2014 or 2019, and also other tournaments where he was relegated to the third place.
But this ended in the current season and fans of the Premier League They have remembered the words of an eccentric player who had his stage as ‘network’. Nothing less than Mario Balotelli.
The Italian striker played for him Manchester City in the 2011-12 campaign and was champion of the tournament. At that time, the drought of Liverpool titles was a reason for the ridicule of the swollen rivals and to this was added the ‘Nene’. Ironically, the attacker launched a premonition and assured that when the ‘reds’ were proclaimed Premier champions it would be the end of the world.
Balotelli has been marked by many peculiar episodes in his career, always accompanied by controversy, and not long after that saying, where he had already earned criticism, he was signed by Liverpool in 2014. As expected, the fans did not receive him in a great way and his performance did not help to reverse the panorama either: 28 games and just four goals. “It was the worst decision I made in my career”, I would later recognize the Italian.
Premonitory or not, Mario Balotelli He affirmed that, believing that Liverpool’s reign in England would be far away, something that, despite having had his fans waiting for 30 years, finally came.
