Mario Balotelli lashes out on cameraman for getting too close to him

Italian striker Mario Balotelli lost his cool while walking through a group of cameramen in Naples for tomorrow’s World Cup qualifier against Armenia. As you can see at the 35 second range in the video, Balotelli gets upset at a cameraman for getting too close to him and slaps the camera away.

Balotelli apologized Monday morning through Italian Director general Antontello Valentini: “Mario Balotelli offers his apologies to everyone at Mediaset and the cameraman.”

“I watched the images with him and we have spoken about it. It was an act of impatience due to the large crowd. It was a moment of nervousness.”
