Balotelli has changed radically: AC Milan CEO

Milan: AC Milan CEO Adriano Galliani believes striker Mario Balotelli’s professionalism might have been questioned throughout his football career but he has “changed radically” following his return to the Italian football club.

The Italian international left Serie A side Milan for Liverpool a year ago, but is back on a 12-month loan deal following a disastrous spell at the English Premier League (EPL) club.

“He (Balotelli) has an extraordinary attitude, he’s changed radically,” Galliani was quoted as saying by Sky Sport Italia on Tuesday.

“He’s the first to arrive for training with Milan coach Sinisa Mihajlovic and the last to leave. Mihajlovic often wants the players to have breakfast at 8.30, and he’s always there before 8,” he said.

“He’s probably realised that this is his last chance and I’m sure he won’t waste it. His technical ability has never been in question. If he continues with the approach he’s had in this first week then he’ll be fine.”

Balotelli, 25, was an unused substitute in Milan’s 2-1 win at home against Empoli last week.

Sunil Gavaskar gives his opinion of GT allrounder Rahul Tewatia

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.

Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”

Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
