Speaking to Sky, Marcello Lippi found the time to speak about his hard cases at the time as coach for the Italian national team. Balotelli and Cassano.

“On Balotelli it’s easy to say. I did not know, three years ago, because I had to reward a guy who at the time, although he was very good, made a lot of mistakes. He did not play for his team. You have to understand that even if nature gave you a talent, you can not make so many mistakes, we should take advantage of the quality that has been received as a gift. “

“And Cassano?”

With Cassano I had a good relationship. And I think he appreciated my ways, or so I was told”, says the former coach for the Gli Azzurri.
