Balotelli: “Today's youth prefer playing on their phones to football”

Italy's failure to qualify for the 2026 World Cup has caused discussions.

Idman.Biz reports that former Italian national team striker Mario Balotelli has also commented on the most discussed issue in Italy.

Recall that Italy was eliminated from the tournament after losing to Bosnia and Herzegovina in the play-off stage.

Balotelli said that missing the World Cup for the third time in a row is a serious problem:

"I don't see the commitment I felt in the national team in many players now. Today's youth prefer playing on their phones to football. That's why it's becoming difficult to find and develop new talents".
