Inter Milan striker Mario Balotelli is delighted with his Italy U21 call.
"I never considered playing for Ghana, not even in the two years when they picked me," Balotelli revealed.
"I am here with the Azzurrini squad at Pierluigi Casiraghi's disposal. If I am in the starting 11 I will give my all for this team, if I'm on the bench I will cheer them on."
