Adana Demirspor striker Mario Balotelli says he understands if Inter Milan fans are angry with him.

Inter was Balotelli's first club before he left for Manchester City.

He told DAZN: “If any fan has hated me I can understand it. For the history of the shirt, because I went to Milan… if someone insulted me, not with racist insults, I understand it.

“I would cancel it if I could. I loved the Inter fans. In that match with Barcelona I entered well, I missed a pass and they started booing me. I took it badly, it had never happened. I would have liked to become an Inter flag, I had talked about it with (former president Massimo) Moratti but that was the goal.

"Moratti is unattainable. He had given me a gold coin and then and there I said to myself 'what is it?'. I didn't understand, I went to the locker room and showed it to (Marco) Materazzi. He told me that he had given it to Ronaldo, Recoba, Adriano and Ibra. There I understood what it meant and that thing stayed with me forever. He is unattainable, as a person and as everything. I still have that coin today."

Asked if he would return to Italy, Balotelli said: "It's difficult. In Italy I think it's difficult."

On almost joining Napoli, he added: “Tell (president Aurelio) De Laurentiis, if it weren't for him I would have been in Napoli for ten years. I am in love with Naples, I would have always played there. My daughter was born there, I told (agent Mino) Raiola that I would have liked to play with them."
