Sharing the joke: Balotelli giggles during his press conference

Asked about a potential celebration, Balotelli added: ‘First I have to score!’

‘The national shirt has always meant a lot to me since I was a kid. It’s absolutely normal that in the first few games I was very emotional. It’s my first European Championship and I think it’s normal to have a reaction.

‘The only thing was I hadn’t scored a goal and that’s why got worked up [against Ireland]. But I wasn’t angry I didn’t have problems with the team or on the pitch. It’s  contrary to your colleagues who said I have an attitude problem. I’m fine.’
