BALOTELLI-SERGEN YALCIN TENSION
Answering the question about the move made by his player Mario Balotelli to Beşiktaş coach Sergen Yalçın, Montella said, “At that moment, in my dialogue with Balotelli, I told him to just concentrate on the game. The move he made is not correct, but there are some statements made before, they are also not correct. Maybe there was a message he received. A word carried by someone else caused a reaction but was not true for either party‘ he said.
