A good number of fans and journalists. Eyes fixed on the dressing rooms. Charles Ehrmann was filled with a slightly strange feeling of restlessness on Monday morning. The subject of this attention, the return of Mario Balotelli back in training, the day after he signed an extension to his contract.

A return that was greeted by the club’s social media accounts by using the new Snapchat function which uses geo-localisation.

As the clock struck 9, the large silhouette of the Italian made his way out onto the pitches, to join up his teammates and to begin the session. Super Mario, season 2, here we go!
