💥Vieira sacked, Balotelli slams and tags him on Instagram! SuperMario 😳 | OneFootball

Patrick Vieira's departure from Genoa, which came in the morning after a day when his reconfirmation seemed to be the most correct path, contributed to breaking Mario Balotelli's silence.

SuperMario, who joined Genoa shortly before Vieira's arrival last year, then disappeared from the radar with the Frenchman with whom he had already had disagreements. Upon the official news, his social media reaction was not long in coming.

FRONTAL ATTACK: "GOOD WORK EXPLOITED SELFISHLY AND POORLY"

Balotelli first shared a story with a phrase. "God sees and provides."

Then, about 30 minutes later, a longer message with tags to Zangrillo, Gilardino, and Vieira himself. 

"Ooooola! Now Genoa can finally focus on people who truly love the environment, the fans, and the emblem and who deeply believe in the idea and the fact that Genoa deserves to be at the top!

The great work experienced firsthand by Gilardino and Zangrillo has not been lost: it was only exploited selfishly and poorly by those who came later, taking advantage of what they had built with effort, respect, and passion.

They exploited the immense work of Gilardino and Zangrillo, their commitment and dedication to these colors without truly understanding its value. Now focus on GENOA and the GENOANI. Go Genoa! GO GUYS! I believed in you and I still do."

THE DISAGREEMENTS IN NICE AND THE CHILL IN GENOA

The two had approached Genoa positively after total disagreements in Nice. However, the words of reconciliation were not followed by actions. Balotelli practically never played with Vieira under the Lantern, and the tensions from Nice resurfaced. 

In an interview with the Daily Mail, Patrick Vieira spoke about his relationship with Balotelli:

"His mentality does not suit a team sport like football. At Nice, I wanted to build a certain philosophy, based on unity and work ethic. It was really complicated for me to work with a player like him. The situation had become unmanageable for both of us, which is why we decided to part ways.”

In short, the rust has not gone away.
