Mario Balotelli loses temper with TV pundits following AC Milan defeat to Roma

 
Angry: Balotelli was already annoyed by his side's 2-0 defeat to Roma

Mario Balotelli lost his temper with Italian television pundits during a post-match interview following AC Milan’s 2-0 defeat to Roma on Friday.

The former Manchester City striker didn’t take kindly to the criticisms directed at him by Sky Italia pundits Zvonimir Boban and Giancarlo Marocchi.

“You don’t understand anything about football,” Balotelli told ex Juventus player Marocchi before turning his attention to Boban.

“You always talk about me. When Milan win Mario’s great, but when Milan lose it’s all Mario’s fault,” he continued.

“I don’t need your criticism, I criticise myself.”

Milan have performed well below expectations this season and find themselves seventh in Serie A with only one game remaining.

Balotelli was clearly irked by Boban’s assertion that he is not a top player during the match.

He fumed: “I never said I’m a top player. I am a perfectly normal player, it’s you that say I am an exceptional player, you always expect me to score five goals a game.”

Balotelli ended the interview by throwing down his microphone.
