POLICE have had to intervene after Mario Balotelli was subjected to racist chants at Italy's World Cup training base.
A few kids outside the Coverciano complex were responsible for the chants, and Balotelli appeared visibly disturbed.
Reports say the Milan striker copped fans shouting “black piece of s***” during training drills.
The
training session was open to media and Balotelli could be heard saying
as he ran by reporters, “Only in Rome and Florence are they that
stupid.” While most of the fans cheered for Balotelli, police approached the area where the chants came from and they quickly ended.
Balotelli
was born in Sicily to Ghanaian immigrants and brought up by an Italian
foster family. He has faced racist chants throughout his professional
career.
