Mario Balotelli Break the Camera of a Professional Photographer

DBasia.news –  Brescia striker, Mario Balotelli, acting to damage the camera of professional photographers in the Serie A match against Genoa.

Genoa won 3-1 through goals scored by Kevin Agudelo (66′), Christian Kouame (75′), and Goran Pandev (79′), who responded to Sandro Tonali’s goal (34′). Balotelli did not make a major contribution in the match and was replaced by Alfredo Donnarumma. 

When it was running, the former Inter Milan and AC Milan striker kicked the billboard out of frustration over his poor form, plus being replaced by another player. Balotelli’s emotional outbursts led to the destruction of the photographer’s camera.

Through Instagram, Massimo Lovati, a professional photographer, explained the situation when he got a notification from the ballboy that the camera and tripod he had left were broken. Lovati was not at the location because the camera and tripod were controlled by remote control and a 35-meter cable.

“When Mr. Balotelli went to the soccer player’s dressing room, he kicked the billboard. Ballboy who saw it immediately reported to me to give an explanation,” Lovati said, quoted by Football-Italy.

Lovati did not accept the camera was damaged only because Balotelli was frustrated. No doubt he asked for compensation to Piovani, Director of Brescia, and told the incident while sending bills for damage caused by Balotelli.

“I see the camera and booster are broken (the casing is also broken) and the camera is no longer working. Imagine, venting your frustration on someone else’s work tool!” he blurted out.

“These are tools that are very perishable and should not be kicked. It’s easy to say I’m angry: respect, you have to respect people who are working and their tools of work!” concluded Lovati.
