The former goalkeeper Emiliano Vivianospoke at TV Playhad his say on Mario Balotelli’s transfer to Genoa: “I expect about ten goals from him. And I hope he can take penalties, Balotelli is one of the best spot-kicks. At Genoa they know how to make the most of Mario Let’s see how he starts, I still have faith in Balotelli’s performance. With this transfer, Genoa and the player are helping each other”, his declarations on SuperMario’s great return to Serie A.
Mister Alberto Gilardino’s words on Balotelli’s arrival
“Mario arrived with great motivation and conviction to make a contribution to the dressing room. I know him, he is a boy who needs to be protected and put in a position to feel good. I will evaluate day after day, hour after hour for Parma. If it is possible he will come to Parma , otherwise I will evaluate for Como.”
The genesis of the negotiation told by rossoblù president Alberto Zangrillo
“The idea of Balotelli came from me and Enzo Raiola, his agent, who I’ve known for some time. It was a dream of mine, it always has been and we finally managed to fulfill it. I worked hard for his arrival but I wasn’t warned of his presence at the evening. I think Mario is a champion who has never managed to express his entire self. I have always thought these things about him, but I also know where I belong.”
