Mario Balotelli responded defiantly after a video of him appearing to stumble drunkenly in the street went viral. “After Italy plays like that… What am I being judged for?” he questioned.

The widely shared video on social media captured Balotelli wobbling, falling, and laughing before being helped up by a friend. In response, he posted a video on Instagram Stories, seated comfortably, addressing the camera directly.

“I wanted to tell you that I saw the video where I fall down with my friends, we roll around, joke, run. I don’t see the problem with having a night out with friends, having fun and joking around, without hurting anyone.” Balotelli stated.

“What am I being judged for? Why didn’t you show all the photographs and videos I made with people? I was open to everyone.”

“Instead, after Italy play like that, the news that goes around is that I’m drunk… Come on, let’s think about important things.” he added.

Looking forward, Balotelli, currently a free agent following the expiration of his contract with Adana Demirspor, is contemplating his next career move. Approaching his 34th birthday in August, he shows no signs of retiring, with suggestions that he could still contribute to the Italian national team. Despite setbacks like knee surgery and a subsequent ban, the experienced striker remains determined to continue his football journey.
