Mario Balotelli spoke on 'TvPlay' and said that if he is healthy he is the best candidate Italy can have for their striker ahead of Giacomo Raspadori and Gianluca Scamacca.

Giacomo Raspadori started against Ukraine and Gianluca Scamacca replaced him at half-time. For Mario Balotelli, neither the Napoli nor the West Ham forward is a striker of any level for the Italian national team. At least not at a higher level than himself, of course.

The striker once again made controversial statements in front of a microphone, speaking to 'TvPlay'. He did not hesitate to attack his two compatriots before offering to return to the national team, which will play in the next European Championship after the point obtained in the last matchday.

"If I’m well, I still consider myself the strongest. Did Raspadori and Scamacca play? How many shots did they take combined? Two? I want to recover and play for the national team. I always hope for the call," Mario Balotelli said.

"I met Spalletti and I’ve met him several times. We made some jokes when we met in a friendly with Napoli, but I have no relationship," added the Italian striker to 'TvPlay'.
