Tardelli disappointed with Chiellini’s remarks about Melo and Balotelli

Marco Tardelli has not hidden his disappointment with Giorgio Chiellini after his harsh comments about Felipe Melo and Mario Balotelli. The Juventus captain described Mario Balotelli as a negative person who deserved a slap for his behavior when he was part of Italy's squad at the 2013 Confederations Cup. He went on to describe former club teammate Felipe Melo as the worst of the worst, adding that he told the management of the team that the Brazilian midfielder was a rotten apple.
