Thomas Bawuah, father of the former Manchester City striker has revealed his son’s regret for choosing Italy over the African giants (Ghana).

“Himself (Balotelli), has started realising he made a big mistake playing for the Italian National Team and he has told friends about it”, Barwuah told GazzettaGhana.com

“He is not being treated well, true they don’t show him the love he deserves for his great talent and skill. I think that all he gets is abuse, especially from the media here and that is because he is black”.

“They don’t like him and it started from the beginning, they didn’t want to see a black boy like himself taking glory of the Italian National Team”,

Balotelli, represented Italy at the 2012 goes down to become the first and only Black African who has featured for the European country.
