Mario Balotelli is the Premier League’s best entertainer... on AND off the pitch
By GRANT ROLLINGS
Published: 25 Oct 2011
AFTER firing in the first of two goals against Man United, Mario Balotelli was booked for flashing a T-shirt with the words, "Why Always Me?"
Fans, managers and commentators have been asking a similar question about the controversial Man City striker ever since he arrived in the Premier League last summer.
Not since England ace Paul Gascoigne has a footballer been in the headlines so often for his behaviour on and off the pitch.
The 21-year-old Italian has a knack of being sent off, winding up opponents and getting into trouble with the law. Yet his supreme talent persuaded Blues boss Roberto Mancini to pay Inter Milan a reported £24million for him.
'Why always me?' ... silly question from Mario Balotelli
That huge outlay was rewarded on Sunday with a stunning performance against arch rivals United at Old Trafford in a 6-1 win.
The £100,000-a-week striker was soaking up the adulation yesterday, with City fans claiming he was high-fiving them from his convertible Bentley.
In the run-up to Sunday's game Mario had claimed that he had changed his ways and was putting his wild days behind him.
He said: "I try to stay at home more. Maybe I'll stay in with my family, my brother or girlfriend.
"They weren't here last year. That's definitely helped. I am also growing up."
But this new, improved Mario did not last long.
In the early hours of Saturday morning, one of Balotelli's pals let off a firework in the bathroom of his Cheshire home during a party.
It caused a serious fire, with Mario and guests all having to flee.

Fortunately two fire crews managed to put out the flames.
According to reports, cops had to stop Mario returning to the blazing property to collect some things.
While that might sound like odd behaviour, in the world of Mario it is par for the course.
He had a reputation for being a handful at home in Italy, well before he joined Man City.
While he was playing for Inter Milan, then manager and ex-Chelsea chief Jose Mourinho described him as "unmanageable".
In June last year police officers in Milan found Balotelli and three friends in an Audi car with a cap gun. Earlier there had been reports of a weapon being fired.

And Balotelli had to apologise to Inter fans for appearing on TV in the shirt of hated rivals AC Milan.
An unsettled upbringing may explain the player's wild streak.
His Ghanaian birth parents, Thomas and Rose Barwuah, put Mario in the care of Italians Francesco and Silvio Balotelli when he was aged two.
Mario claims they "abandoned" him. But the Barwuah's claim they only let the Balotellis foster him because they could help with medical care for Mario, who had problems with his intestines.
Mancini, who had also managed Balotelli at Inter, believed that he could tame Balotelli's wild ways when he signed him for Man City.
It quickly proved to be optimistic.

Mario helped Man City to win this year's FA Cup and won man of the match, but he has earned £300,000 in club fines since joining the Blues and has been sent off twice.
He was also seen scuffling with team-mate Jerome Boateng at training.
And in March he threw a dart at a youth team player at the club's Carrington training ground.
On top of that, he angered Mancini by missing the goal with a silly backheel during a friendly against David Beckham's team LA Galaxy in July.
He loves his cars but is just as unpredictable behind the wheel. He crashed a £120,000 Audi R8 sports car in Manchester last August.

On another occasion, when police asked why he had £25,000 in his glove compartment, the player replied: "Because I can".
His love life is no less eventful. He came to England with Miss Italy finalist Melissa Castagnoli but they split shortly afterwards.
He was soon dating former Big Brother girl Sophie Reade. That did not end well either. She claimed he went off with her best friend. He is currently dating Italian actress Raffaella Fico.
There is no doubt that Mario is an attention seeker. He likes to wear outlandish clothes and change his eccentric hairstyles. At the moment Mario is sporting a mohican, before that it was a variety of zig-zag designs.

Diamond stud earrings are a favourite and he turned up for one game last year wearing a hat shaped like a giant glove.
The striker also stands out with his attitude towards his fellow professionals. Mario wound up Man United defender Rio Ferdinand by winking at him after City won 1-0 in the FA Cup semi-final in April. In December he was just as provocative when he won the Golden Boy award, honouring Europe's most talented under-21 player.

When asked what he thought about second place Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshire, he replied: "What's his name? Wil... ? No, I just don't know him."
But Mancini continues to feed Balotelli's ego.
The Man City boss says he thinks Mario can become one of the world's top players if he loses his crazy streak.
Mancini said: "I hope we arrive at the day when Mario has changed because, after this, he becomes one of the best three players in the world, like Messi, like Cristiano Ronaldo."
But he may have a long wait.

Balotelli is already making light of his house fire last weekend by hosting a BONFIRE NIGHT.
He is currently staying at a posh hotel in Manchester while renovations are carried out on his multi-million pound property. But he has already invited his mates for the next round of parties.
A source said: "He has invited everyone round for a bonfire night.
"It was a serious fire and a fair bit of damage was done but Mario hasn't let it faze him."

巴洛特利腦殘史一覽:巴神的世界你永遠不懂
新浪體育訊 足球到底能帶來什麼？這是一個讓無數女人想破頭的問題。她們永遠無法理解，為什麼一到了每週的那個時間，她身邊的男人就會將哪怕再漂亮性感的她都視若無物，一心只想去球場的看台，或者在家盯著電視機。男人們無法回答這個問題，就像男人無法理解女人為什麼那麼喜歡八卦和娛樂一樣。但是，自從有了巴洛特利，這個問題就不再是問題，因為足球和娛樂，巴神都能給你。
在曼城(微博)同曼聯(微博)的德比大戰中，攻入首球的巴洛特利用充滿疑惑的表情向現場和電視機前的數億球迷展示了自己早就想提出的問題：「Why Always Me?」沒有人能回答他，但是誰也不會拒絕巴神在美妙的足球之外，送給大家的這份驚喜和歡樂。
視頻-很2很天真 爆笑巴神外傳講述別樣人生媒體來源：新浪體育
無數人想瞭解巴神每天都在想些什麼，但這都是些毫無意義的嘗試，你要明白，巴神的世界，你永遠不懂。《太陽報》認真分析研究，提出一個大膽的斷言：巴洛特利是英超賽場上最好的行為藝術家，無論場上還是場下。
當曼奇尼力主花費2400萬鎊，從國米買下巴洛特利後，巴神就開始了自己在曼徹斯特翻江倒海的表演。剛來到英國的巴洛特利，也曾有段時間水土不服，那時候他更多的是通過拿紅牌來彰顯個性。在逐漸熟悉了英國的環境後，巴神賣萌的表演就開始層出不窮。
作為一名藝人，穿衣打扮當然得講究。但是地球人的衣服實在難穿，這導致巴神在往自己身上套訓練衫的時候費盡九牛二虎之力。惱羞成怒的巴洛特利選擇不穿衣服抵抗，於是在某條大街上，很多人目睹了一位身材健碩，但全身只穿一條花內褲，嘴裡還叼著一根香煙的巴洛特利。這個還不過癮，巴洛特利後來又戴上自己比較中意的雞冠帽子，招搖過市，十分拉風。
作為一名藝人，必須要具備一些動作功底。巴洛特利經常會找人交流一些招式。在一次球隊訓練時，巴洛特利就曾與現已轉會去到拜仁慕尼黑的前隊友博阿滕現場切磋起來。在夏天與洛杉磯銀河的熱身賽上，巴洛特利也因為一次空門馬賽回轉打偏，讓場下的曼奇尼暴跳如雷，立即將其換下。
作為一名藝人，與人交際說話很有學問。在一次被警察問道他為什麼要將2萬5000鎊的現金放在雜物箱時，巴神的回答簡短有力：「因為我能(Because I can)。」直接讓警察啞口無言。當贏得金童獎被問及獲得該獎項第二名的阿森納(微博)中場威爾謝爾時，巴洛特利反問記者：「他的名字是？不，我真的不知道他是誰。」巴洛特利還曾對魯尼大放厥詞，稱其「在曼徹斯特的前鋒中並不是最出色的」，讓一向霸氣的「拳擊手」魯尼都想會會他。
對於英國球迷來說，自從上一位天才兼表演藝術家加斯科因謝幕後，已經很久沒有這種類型的人物出現了，所以他們非常樂意與巴洛特利多做交流。他們選擇在所有巴洛特利的車上刻下他們的寄語，週薪達到10萬鎊的巴洛特利剛開始也是不屈不撓，你劃一輛，我就再買一輛，但是雙拳難敵四手，一段時間過去之後，巴洛特利終於選擇了低頭，開始租車子開了。
在對陣曼聯的比賽前，巴洛特利曾向媒體說道，他已經玩夠了，他要呆在家裡靜思冥想：「我想多呆在家裡，我有可能會與我的家人在一起，或者是我的兄弟們和我的女朋友，我也長大了。」聽聞巴神一席話，諸多對他充滿期待的球迷非常沮喪，但誰也不曾想，巴洛特利慾蓋彌彰，是為了給大家帶來更多的驚喜。週六，巴洛特利就因為在自己家中「研究操作火箭的技術(《太陽報》語)」，引發浴室火災，差點被曼奇尼剝奪出場的資格。但是，這一切一切的不愉快，都在巴洛特利「Why Always Me?」後，煙消云散。賽後，巴洛特利一臉嚴肅的舉起一張宣傳安全燃放煙花的宣傳海報，親身向大家進行宣傳。
巴洛特利能夠來到英超「獻藝」，最主要的原因是他的「亞父」曼奇尼。雖然和巴洛特利非親非故，但從在國米時期，曼奇尼對這個屢屢讓他下不了台的孩子一直都是照顧有加。眾所周知，曼奇尼並不是一個好脾氣的主教練，這點從他對阿德巴約和特維斯的強硬態度就能看出來，但是只有在看著巴洛特利的時候，曼奇尼的雙眼中才充滿慈祥的愛憐。曼奇尼曾解釋過自己的良苦用心：「我希望有一天馬里奧會改變，他會成為世界上三個最好的球員之一，像梅西和C羅那樣。」
還是那句話，巴神的世界，你永遠不懂！ |
