Serial headline-grabber Mario Balotelli has been at it again in his native Italy, insisting that he no longer speaks the language ... while speaking the language.The Liverpool striker was spotted watching his brother, Enoch, take part in an exhibition game, but decided to take all the attention away from his sibling with a bizarre quote.When approached by a journalist and asked to give his opinion on his brother, Balotelli replied in Italian: "Beware, I do not speak Italian any more."Given that Balotelli has spent 10 seasons of his professional career in Italy, as well as being born in the country, his statement appears to be an slightly untruthful, but it did manage to halt the line of questioning.Balotelli then wandered off, muttering in English under his breath, and will soon return to Merseyside, after a disastrous first season at Anfield.He scored just four goals in all competitions in 2014-15, and may have to brush up on his understanding of both languages if he is to turn his form around.
