Former striker of the national team of Italy, Manchester City and Inter, now a player of the Turkish club Adana Demirspor Mario Balotelli believes that the media has overblown the story around his car accident.
Football Italia quoted Balotelli as saying:
On November 24, the footballer got into an accident in the vicinity of the Italian city of Brescia. After receiving first aid and passing an alcohol test, he left the scene of the accident in another car. Instead of talking about important issues, they talk about it. Incredible!
In the current season, the 33-year-old striker has played five matches for Adana Demirspor and scored three goals.
