Mario Balotelli, he's so unique a good person especially internal affairs.

[@jayden123456100]

My idol in soccer

[@99annanic]

I hate when people mock players without knowing what they have been through. Balotelli is still getting shit from all the Liverpool fans and no one seems to respect him. I love Mario! He is one of my idols! I hope he soon finds the form he was in like when he started. Can't wait to see him play next, and hopefully score!

[@OyvindPvP]

I respect and believes in him, and think that Liverpool shouldn't sell him in January. He needs Sturridge beside him to shine with him, just wait.

[@MrMarkus1921]

what a shame, people mock him without knowing he's story, Imagine being given your first professional debut and your booed whenever you touch the ball.. And people question why he's so aggressive, If he had been passive in those first matches he probably would have given up on football all together.

[@bianca12727]

He was a lot more humble back then!

[@BourneIdentity45]

Was my favourite player growing up mainly because I was adopted too, and the fact he played football at a high level he was someone I aspired to want to emulate his goals or skills he could do. Always felt he was misunderstood and obviously was acted out a lot due to his troubled upbringing and felt abandoned by his parents and it didn't help that he probably felt that wanted him back after things were starting to get good in his life (football wise) at the end of the day it's a story of what could have been I'm afraid he became somewhat of a journeyman and at least he's more connected with his family now I know Enoch has been in his life a lot but his other siblings too and his parents

I hope he never changes.

[@MedicOnDutyVids]

I have to say that out of all the people I look up to in football I respect Mario Balotelli the most. He does dumb stuff, no one can deny that, but he is the most dynamic and most human athlete I've ever seen. Give him 3-4 years and he'll be one of the best strikers in the world.

[@douglaskiambi1203]

Mancini is correct,he had,has the potential to be as good as Cantona. He has that sort of maverick ability but he has private demons to exorcise first,his family life.

[@fahik]

dont trip men, he is a footballer, not a doctor who save lifes, or an astronaut who study hard to achieve discovery for the humanity, or soldier who risk his live to protect others or even a garabage man to keep your street where you walk all days clean. We have the freedom to think or judge all we want about him because he is a showman, with the duty of entertain us thats all, we dont care about how many languages he speak or his background and how old is he, we dont even compare to him.

[@Deepjungle80]

I agree with you. You wrote a concept of a wise human been.. Salut you for your opinion more of you will make different in this universe. Why cause you change him by his heart not color not his mistakes he mad in the past respect. Stay Bless

I truly feel sorry for you!

[@mikeleone7484]

I like Ballo cuz dats his real character unlike some footballers who act like they`re good and when they think the camera is off they show their true character and when they are caught in the act everyone is surprised but whatever Ballo does, it would not surprised the media bcuz we know dats his true character, hes gonna get criticize but its would not shock the world like it would if other footballers show their true colors. I like Ballo for being himself rather than act like 2 diff ppl.

Ofcourse such traumaizing things will afect you, ofcourse he may act strange or weird, atleast after all his pain he can still laugh and have fun :(

What killed his career is not his character but racism,all those chant game after game made him feel unwanted,if his career was picking now then he could be living his dream

manchini said he thinks balotelli could be like cantona for manchester city but then he moves to ac milan

[@Dethred1]

For those that think he's stupid, how many languages can you speak? For those that think he misbehaves, how many of you have his background? It takes a particular ignorance to speak trash about someone who has achieved more by age 21 than 99.99% of people will achieve in a lifetime, and done it with more hurdles than most will ever face. He certainly has his flaws, but that's all you see in the media. Personally, If I had a choice between being friends with Mario or Rooney... Mario 100%.
