Balotelli's Turkish league adventure started well and hasn't said or done anything stupid yet. He works with Vincenzo Montella in Adana Demir SK. Moreover, there are other players in the team who have played in Serie A before (Birkir Bjarnason ,Gökhan İnler ,Lucas Castro)
All these factors enabled him to adapt to the Turkish league easily. Normally, the Turkish league is a place where it's very difficult for foreign players to adapt. Tactical football is not important here, instead there is football based on physical strength. The defenders are tough and ruthless. Unlike many world famous football players who have been disgraced before in this league, Balotelli has managed to survive until now.
Mancini previously worked in the Turkish league. He knows our league and probably still follows it. He is aware that Balotelli is in good shape and that is why he called him.
It has already been talked about for more than a month in the Turkish media that Mario will be called to the Italian national team. So ,the result didn't come as a surprise to us ( I mean Turkish fans )
But there is a problem !
Montella uses the 4-2-3-1 system and Balotelli plays very well in this system because Galatasaray's loanee Yunus Akgün on the right and Matias Vargas on the left wing, who was nobody in La Liga , are great this season and they both feed very well Balotelli in every game.
Mancini, on the other hand, uses a different system than the one Balotelli plays for his own team.
Anyway, I hope Mario fails. Italy is a possible rival on the way to Qatar. Of course I don't want them to be a good team.
