\u201cLet\u2019s stop the league!! Do we need anything else? Stop football!!\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n
Balotelli, who plays with Brescia in the virus-hit region, added his weight to the campaign with an impassioned post.<\/p>\n
\u201cI agree with you 100%,\u201d he wrote. \u201cMoney isn\u2019t worth our health, we have to wake up. Don\u2019t write rubbish to me like: ‘But you are protected! What difference does it make if you play or not? Nothing happens to you behind closed doors! Don\u2019t take away the only fun that people have at the weekend in the red zones!’<\/p>\n
\u201cI LOVE FOOTBALL MORE THAN YOU\u2026 but playing means travelling by bus, train, aeroplane, sleeping in a hotel, in any case entering into contact with other people outside of your working environment\u2026<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cI already don\u2019t get to see my children because of this damned coronavirus, because as you know they do not live in Lombardy, so it\u2019s already infuriating and sad.<\/p>\n

The next two rounds of Serie A have been pushed back by a week, while the scheduled card of fixtures for last weekend, including Juventus\u2019 vital clash with Inter, will be played this weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, all games will be played behind closed doors until at least April 3.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The outspoken striker has demanded that the game be stopped while COVID-19 remains rife Mario Balotelli has echoed calls from Italy\u2019s Players\u2019 Association to postpone football while coronavirus fears remain rife around the country.
