Balotelli strikes back at Bolt
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Italian footballer Mario Balotelli has hit back at Usain Bolt, saying that he should not judge people he did not know, after the sprinter was reported as saying he didn’t like him.
Bolt, a six-time Olympic champion, reportedly said Balotelli is an aggressive player, who never misses a penalty but that despite his skills and after meeting him a couple times, he “did not like him very much”.
Balotelli used his Twitter account to respond to Bolt, saying the sprinter should get to know people before judging them.
The tweet has since been deleted.
Bolt is in the Italian capital, Rome, for the Samsung Diamond League meet today.
