The heading is a bit of fallacy really because I dont think anyone can really understand Mario however I have some insight that might help understand why he does some of the things he does.
This is not to endorse his actions such as throwing darts at fellow team mates and so but rather to shed some light on some info that some of you might already know or not.
I know there is a Mario thread but I wanted this to be a new thread since I think the other thread has become something of a trashtalkingthread!!
A bit of a background: Some on here already think that Mario behaved the way he did back in Italy due to the amount of abuse he got from the fans.
Based on this fact some have argued that if the fans here show him support and love he will change and finally realise the potential we all know he has. Some part of the media have also stated that he is one who craves attention for all the wrong reasons and so on.
However fans showing love and support has had zero effect, actually Marios actions have been somewhat odd, unpredictable and bothering psychotic to be frank.
One does not really know what to expect from him, either a moment of brilliance or total madness.
In view of the above mentioned I thought to myself that Marios problems might be more of psychophysical distresses embedded within his emotional psyche.
The sports that we all love to watch is an emotional one both for the fans and the players. To be a very successful player one has to be able to manage his perfectly on the pitch. This aspect of the game I can forgive Mario has he is only 20 and grossly immature. I hope and believe that this part of his game will improve as he grows.
Reasons for why Mario has emotional issues I believe stems from his childhood. Some believe he was given up for adoption others say he was given up to be fostered.
His biological parents claim Marios current parents "stole" their son and that it was never agreed that Mario should be adopted but rather fostered.
This "disagreement" which really is an understatement by all means has gone on since the boy reached his teens. It took a nasty turn once he turned pro and an even nastier turn once Ghana tried to call him up for the national team.

There plenty of articles where you can hear both sides of the story. If you are interested do a google search..
I think the club and all around him should seek to help him with is his emotions. As I think this part of his upbringing has a lot to do with his demenour and the Mario we know today.
To the fans I plead for you to be patient with Mario. I believe he knows whats been asked of him and hes working towards that. Let us be patient and hopefully he will come around. How many of us can honestly say we would have turned out any different had we been in shoes as a kid??
Disclaimer: I do not support his lunacy but I do support him as a city player and I thought this might give some insight.
