Mario Ballotelli

[waspish]

this guy is garbage wouldn't touch him with a barge pole and thats still to close

Bellamy doesn't throw tantrums for the sake of it like Ballotelli, he takes his attitude and uses it as passion on the pitch, although it can be quite obnoxious.

And imagine if someone could teach Ballotelli that little trick?

Big gamble IMO, but perhaps worthwhile. He's undoubtedly class.

I think all this nastiness to a blind Italian Tenor sums this forum right up :(

Very good.

Anyone know what the music is on the video? I want it.

he is far from garbage. with the right guidence he could be sensational

 

[bluemoon32]

Some reports ( maybe rubbish, i don't know) reckon he's got an ego problem and thinks he's too good for Inter .......god knows what he'll make of us then.

Honestly mate i see where he is coming from. I've watched Inter countless times this season and i'm still not sure what the fuss is about. He's far from garbage, but he's also way off being worth bothering with.

Seems like we're being mooted as the favourites for his signature in Italy.




Everyone makes mistakes. In high-pressure situations some people are just not as good as others at keeping their emotions in check. However, it seems that Mario Balotelli’s little temper tantrum at San Siro against Barcelona has been one indiscretion too many. His career at Inter is reportedly over, but will we now lose him completely from Serie A?

First of all let’s make it clear, SuperMario’s actions during and after the Champions League semi-final were ill-judged. By gesticulating to the Inter fans who were jeering him and then throwing off his jersey as he headed down the tunnel, he only gave his detractors more ammunition to fire at him. But was his crime really that bad?

After the game Jose Mourinho effectively implied he had reached the end of his tether with the 19-year-old, the fans had already voiced their opinion. In the tunnel it is alleged he was manhandled and berated by Marco Materazzi, according to the evidence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic – although, of course, the Swede could be trying to destabilise Inter. In the car park Inter fans tried to finish what Matrix had started.

But let’s just check Balo’s rap sheet. Okay, he is sulky and thinks he knows better than those with more experience than him – show me a teenager that does not apply to. He is not a team player and often tries the extravagant when the simple will do – a crime you can lay at the door of most of the game’s truly gifted geniuses.

So what about the more serious stuff? His play-acting in his altercation with Felipe Melo? Get off your high horse. Show me a player today who would not elaborate an injury in order to get an opponent booked… that kind of cheating has been part and parcel of the game for years now. Mario is not the first to do it, nor will he be the last.

His gestures to the crowd in an important Champions League tie? You would never catch an experienced Italian international like, say, Mauro Camoranesi doing that would you. And if he did he certainly would not be forgiven and allowed a chance to redeem himself. Hang on, didn’t Camo do exactly that for Juventus against Arsenal four years ago… and he is still with the Turin club?

Finally, there is the infamous Milan shirt. Go and watch the footage from Striscia la Notizia. It is arguably the first time I have seen Balotelli with a smile on his face and looking like he is actually having fun. It was a joke, a naïve prank.

Is it any wonder the kid plays with a scowl and a bag of chips on his shoulder when he is criticised and humiliated by his Coach, taunted with despicable ‘Black Italians do not exist’ banners at away games and bullied and barracked at every opportunity by senior teammates who should know better. And to top it all off he is Public Enemy No 1 to his own fans.

Let’s not forget this is a guy who has netted nearly 20 Serie A goals and won two Scudetti before his 20th birthday. Show me another youngster who has done that recently. He has his flaws, as anyone wet behind their ears does, but does he really deserve all this negativity?

It seems unlikely that Inter will sell him to an Italian rival, so a reunion with Roberto Mancini at Manchester City seems the most likely scenario for him. So well done to his detractors, when he goes you will have helped to deprive Serie A of one of its most exciting new talents in years.

 

[tommytheblue]

sign him up, He get racially abused by juve fans, abused by his own...He likes mancini..cracking player

 

[Mike D]

People will question his attitude primarily and call him a spoilt brat.

The above may be correct for him at Inter Milan but Roberto knows his personality and has worked with him in the past. If he can get Ballotelli playing like so many who have watched him at his best know he can then we'd have a hell of a player on our hands. He has raw potential that needs to be nurtured and developed and the person who can achieve this will have an exceptional asset to their team.

The criticism he is receiving is unfair. He is being pushed out the club in a way I have never seen before and would probably jump at the chance to join us regardless of the wages we would offer him.

Agreed what would you sooner have a Ballotelli an up and coming 19 year old or 28 year old Crock who spends more time on the physio's table than the field of play

said he did not like what Balotelli did (abuse of shirt ), that certain things dont go well and must not be done. has been severe.

 

[edgecroft]

Very interesting.

Thanks Mancio!

Wouldn't want someone of that personality at the club, he's a massive twat and he also plays for Inter.
