06 June 2020It is over, in the worst possible way, between Brescia and Mario Balotelli: Massimo Cellino's club has sent the player the letter asking for the unilateral termination of the contract.

The decisive break came with the attacker's move to present a medical certificate with the diagnosis of gastroenteritis for which he did not show up for the last training sessions after weeks of great tension with society. 

"In life, facts count, not words. We are what we do, not what we say or write. There is only one truth: the team has taken one path, Mario has taken another." Diego Lopez does not use too many turns of words to take stock of Balotelli, now separated at home.

The Brescia coach had also given him the captain's armband when he arrived. "I thought that playing in his city could give a lot - he tells the 'Corriere della Sera' - He had a lot to give, but he had to do more, much more. The facts are these. So it is normal that he is disappointed. For Mario I am I spent a lot, but I demanded and demanded from him as well. What did not work? I believe that everyone is in control of their own destiny, but not in words. With gestures. Mario trains himself because his companions have made a path that he he did not. It was optional, okay, but the group took one road and he took another. On Zoom, during the quarantine, he did not show up. Even if he says he is well, he is not at the level of his companions Now he must recover, period ". And if Brescia was the last chance for Balotelli's career, Lopez does not know, "he is still 30 years old, not 40. It depends on him. He is master of his destiny. But so, no. We need another head" .
