Football Focus - Balotelli Interview

[Stoned Rose]

Geniuses the pair of em. Mario is actually a really shy fella and also really really likeable. Presented himself extremely well IMHO, I esp liked the bit where he said something like 'Whatever Mancini says is right'. Great attitude.

The kid needs to be starting every prem game for me. Makes Dzeko look like Ian Dowie.

Good interview, Mario, different class on and off the pitch.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

I like that boy.
BBC red button sports multiscreen if you've missed it.

 

[MCFCinUSA]

is there video of the whole interview posted anywhere yet?

 

[Fame Monster]

I like Noel but this interview just builds up the celebrity of Balotelli rather than exposing myths (as it might claim to do).

Balotelli is a footballer. It's nobody's business but Balotelli's about what he buys his mam or any of the other shit. Let him have his private life instead of fashioning him into some icon by putting him in front of a camera, and making him fit a character that is the opposite of what Mancini wants from him.

 

[ali benarbia's studs]

as long as the media build up mario with hype it takes away pressure from the team.... works the same with mancini when they say he is cracking !!!

love mario !!!!!

 

[salfordblues]

Very impressed with the way he spoke about Mancini.

He said something like: "If Mancini says it, then it is right"

Brilliant.

 

[paulchapo]

He is incredibly calm and focused for a 21 year old.When asked about the penalty against Tottenham he replied,''Why be nervous,it is my job football,i should score a penalty'' or something like that.

He has become a cult figure at City and he has improved as a player.If he can keep his cool he will prove to be a big asset.

 

[Plaything of the gods]

Full interview...

When Noel met Mario - in full

 

[Hamann Pineapple]

Didn't like the bit where he says Mourinho wants to come

 

[QuickSilva]

thank you mancini !!

thank you sheikh mansour !!

 

[IlDivinCodino]

Didn't like the bit where he says Mourinho wants to come

No, he said 'they say he wants to come' with a wry smile. A distinctly different proposition.

 

[tregyblue61]

Can be frustrating or brilliant on the pitch but, after watching that:

I LOVE THE GUY!

cheers for that.

watched the Liam interview too, a bit different from Parkinson eh?

;o)

 

[Hotrocks]

It was nice of Lawro to wear that blouse again.

His jealousy and bitterness is there for all to see

 

[kunaguero10]

Whenever i hear mario speak i am always reassured of his attitude.

Was a class interview, real good chemistry between the two. If only professional interviewers were half as good as noel...

He was so relaxed and cool when asking the questions it was brilliant

 

[goat boy]

Impressive. just browsed the comments on an American blog outlet of yahoo.

'who the fuck is noel gallagher? he looks like a douche bag'. Or something similar.

Mario has a more famous name than noel. that's some fucking going.
