Buffon: 'Balotelli deserves to be in the Italian national team'

Italian goalkeeping veteran and legend Gianluigi Buffon has said that Mario Balotelli deserves to play for the Italian national team currently.

In an interview that the Paris Saint-Germain man and the former Juve star gave in an episode of  E poi c'è Cattelan, he said:" Mario is doing well at Marseille, he has shown seriousness and maturity and is also a great thing for the national team.

"And then just think that the French championship is a less tough tournament, maybe it is not too advanced from a tactical point of view, but it is at the top for technique and physicality, but PSG aside, teams like Lille and Lyon in Serie A would be among the first five."
