According to Giorgio Chiellini, the most negative people he has worked with during his career are Mario Balotelli and ‘worst of the worst’, Felipe Melo.
He has revealed this in the book he has written about himself. The historic achievements with the Juventus jersey.
“I was disappointed by two players, I showed that in the book. Balotelli is a negative person, with no respect for the group. “During the Confederations Cup against Brazil in 2013, he didn’t help anything and he really deserved a slap in the face.” said Chiellini.
“Some said he was among the top five strikers in the world, but I never considered him even in the top 10 or 20.”
“There were even worse, Felipe Melo: the worst of the worst.”
“I can’t stand people who don’t have respect, those who always want to be opponents. With him around, it was always possible for a quarrel to break out. I told the directors, too: it’s a bad apple. ”
Chiellini played with Balotelli in Italy, and with Melo in Juventus.
