DBasia.news – In one section, the Italian defender revealed that Mario Balotelli and Felipe Melo were the worst teammates he had ever had. Balotelli, the striker who is now playing with Brescia, had worked hand in hand with Chiellini in the Italian national team.
However, who would have thought that Balo’s personality was hated by Chiellini. According to the veteran, Balotelli is a very negative figure.
Giorgio Chiellini sparked controversy when talking about his autobiography. He called Felipe Melo who is a former team-mate as the worst player. In addition, Mario Balotelli was also criticized by Chiellini.
It did not take long for Melo to react. Melo said, Chiellini had a number of jealousies towards him. Moreover, he is an Inter Milan fan.
“I want to know what he meant. When in Turin, I always respect everyone: My teammates, directors and Juventus in general. However, at this point, I cannot respect him. Never,” Melo explained to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“He said Balotelli deserves to be slapped and I am the worst of the worst, the person who always triggers fights? Just so you know, he is a coward.”
“Besides, it’s too easy to vilify someone through a book. Maybe, he is still angry with me. The reason, when with Galatasaray, we got rid of Juventus in the Champions League.”
“Another reason is maybe because Inter Milan won everything and I was an Interista.”
Melo also brought up Ciellini’s wound after being defeated by the Brazilian national team in the 2009 Confederations Cup. At that time, the Italian national team were defeated with a score of three goals without reply.
“Maybe he is still upset with that. Moreover, previously he had never played at an international level with Italy,” Melo concluded.
