VALENTIN EYSSERIC AND OGC NICE EXPLAIN

Questioned in the press conference before and after Sunday’s encounter against Rennes, Valentin Eysseric gave his point of view on Mario Balotelli’s situation, after Balotelli had started the previous match on the bench.

Even though his quotes had been very clear, the player insisted today that they had been taken out of context, leading to an untruth.

Eyserric emphasised once again: “When I say that Mario has no reason to be with us, it’s clear and I repeat it, it is to make reference to the huge talent that he has, which would allow him to play for the biggest clubs in Europe. In no way did I mean that he has no place in the squad”

Valentin Eysseric “repeated” it, because the context was clear, in the same way as his words were. “I won’t say anymore on this subject” concluded Eysseric. “Mario has all of my support and the support of all the team. He is important for us, and he will continue to bring a lot to our side”
