ROME -- Mario Balotelli has expressed astonishment at the reaction to an argument he had with some Italian football pundits after a game on Friday. Kevin Durant Jersey . Following AC Milans 2-0 loss to Roma, Balotelli had a tense exchange with the Sky Italia TV studio hosts. Balotelli said: "When Milan wins Mario is great, when it loses Mario is bad." Told by one studio host that he doesnt move enough on the pitch, Balotelli responded: "You dont know anything about football. Trust me." His comments provoked plenty of reaction both supportive and critical, and Balotelli responded on Twitter around 4 a.m. local time on Saturday morning, saying in Italian: "Mamma mia I divide Italy in 2! Wow! While nearly everyone abroad is united with me!" Then he added in English: "What a strange game." Balotelli, whose career had been littered with controversies and clashes with both coaches and teammates, was largely ineffective against Roma and he was substituted in the 69th minute. As Balotelli walked off, he appeared to question coach Clarence Seedorfs decision to remove him. "I didnt understand my substitution," Balotelli said in the interview. Told that he doesnt criticize himself enough, Balotelli said "Im a very normal player. Its you who says Im a standout." Balotelli is having a strong season and set a personal record last week with his 14th goal of the campaign. "I chose to take off Balotelli, but when he came off he didnt say anything special to me," Seedorf said. "We shouldnt always analyze every detail, when there is something negative to say about Balo, you are always ready. There are things said and done in the heat of the moment, but then its talked about and resolved. "Hes coming off the back of many positive weeks, both with goals and with his behaviour." Balotelli has a history of being in the headlines as much for his antics off the pitch as his talent on it. He made light of his troubles in 2011 when he was with Manchester City by unveiling a T-shirt with the slogan "Why Always Me?" during a 6-1 rout of Manchester United in a Premier League derby. That came after reports that a fire had broken out at his house when fireworks were let off in his bathroom. Balotelli escaped punishment earlier in 2011 after throwing a dart at a City youth-team player. No one was hurt in the incident. Mitch Richmond Jersey . After the loss, White refused to make good on the bet, instead offering Hoyt tickets to a Bears game. Willie Cauley-Stein Jersey . The 10-year deal the league and players agreed to that ended the 2011 lockout gave either side the right to opt out after six years. With the league projecting financial growth, there has been speculation that players will take that option in three years, especially since a new national TV contract will be in place by then. https://www.warriorsrookiesshop.com/Jacob-Evans-City-Edition-Jersey/ . Venus Williams advanced to the ASB Classic final in Auckland on a walkover when fellow American Jamie Hampton withdrew from their semifinal Friday with a right hip injury.MELBOURNE, Australia - Madison Keys remembers watching Lindsay Davenport play against Venus Williams in the Wimbledon finals. Just dont ask her for many details.I vaguely remember it. I was in our house in Florida. Other than that I cant tell you much, the 19-year-old American said. I was so young, I have no idea.For the record, Davenport, a three-time major winner, played two finals against Williams at the All England Club — in 2000 and 2005. Keys would have been 5 years old the first time around, and 10 years old the second.Keys is now one of the most promising of the next generation of American players, long considered a possible future Grand Slam champion herself.After rising dramatically in the rankings in 2013 and cracking the top 50, however, her game seemed to plateau and she struggled with consistency, particularly in big matches. At the end of last year, she made a bold decision — she turned to the 38-year-old Davenport for help.With Davenport and her husband, Jon Leach, now by her side as coaches, Keys is into the third round at the Australian Open, one of seven American woman to make it this far.She credits Davenport with being a steadying influence.We get along really well and we play similar games so its really nice to have someone who not only plays somewhat like me, but also has gone through it, knows the nerves, the stresses, all of that, Keys said.Keys now facces one of the biggest tests of her young career — she plays two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova in a night match on Rod Laver Arena on Saturday for a spot in the fourth round. Patrick McCaw Jersey. Shes never made it to the second week of a major before.Im sure no matter what, Ill walk on the court and be nervous, but its one of those things where you just go out and do your best and walk off and be happy with it, she said.After years of hand-wringing about the state of U.S. tennis, the Americans have to be pretty happy about their week in Melbourne so far. Joining Keys in the third round on the womens side were Serena and Venus Williams, Varvara Lepchenko, Bethanie Mattek-Sands, Madison Brengle and Coco Vandeweghe. John Isner and Steven Johnson made the third round for the men.Mattek-Sands lost her third-round match to French Open finalist Simona Halep on Friday. The other eight Americans play on Saturday.Im just so happy Im in a press conference and someone said its been a good day for Americans instead of Oh, American tennis... Keys said. Its awesome. Theres been a lot of good matches. Even some of the losses have been really close matches with really high-ranked players.Davenport is going to get on the court herself, too.She has seniors shes getting ready for, Keys said, before realizing her mistake.
