The Rise and Fall of Mario Balotelli - The Real Story behind this CRAZY Footballer

[@soccerctrl]

Do you think Balotelli is a Legend? or did he fail to live up to expectations?

[@amirshake9803]

cult player. definitely one to remember

[@yupyup8305]

Both somehow...

[@welowee7610]

You can’t say he’s a Legend compare to Messi or Ronaldo. He got no attitude and Loyalty. Great Player, but not a Legend

[@jinri8456]

We all have Rise and Fall. Thats the life we need to endure and accept it as a challenge until we die. GREAT JOB MARIO!

The problem is that he never reach his potential due to his bad attitude.

I love him as he is. He never bent over or changed himself for others. He’s unique and the real special one 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@nfrigoli1990]

He Is a Little boy with a Little brain. He could have been the greatest italian player, such a waste of talent ... "Changing himself for others" means stopping to act like a **** and start listening to coaches. Too bad

[@johnomuka5311]

Great player. His football talent speaks by itself. Left his unmatched mark in football by scoring two first class goals against Germany.

[@timmyfung01]

it is sad to see how fast he drop from his peak after leaving Man City. I remember he was the center of attention for football news, back in those days he was a regular in the sport news front page, but right after he left Man City, his forms and fame decline fast. a shame his attitude did not bring out his full talent, but at least he was near the peak of the world at one point, and this is something most other players could not manage.

[@nayaaurora3142]

Hope one day he will be superstars again …just neve let give up Mario 💪💪💪

[@bangrojai]

He is still a superstar till now. Ask every Adana Demispor fan....they would give that as true answer.

[@jsmadray]

When I first started following his career, I thought he would be in the top 10 footballers for this era. There was no doubt that he had the potential, but it seems emotion got in the way of his performance. He would always be sorely affected by what others had to say which affected his game on the field as well as his personal life. This I believe played the most major role in his downfall. Still, I respect his technical ability.

[@robbenvanpersie1562]

Yeah seems like. Wasted talent

[@mcchauke9654]

Mario is a hero he's problem is because he's Black

[@thehustlerafrica4368]

Mario is not forgotten,he is always remembered

[@eberechiemela6611]

As long as he is a Champions league, Serie A and Premier league Champion or holder, then his Career is more than a success to me.. Even Steven Gerrard doesn't have a Premier league medal

[@soccerctrl]

Haha nice dig at Stevie G

[@samueleferre970]

Goes to show you can't really judge a player by his trophies in a team sport... Stevie top player and an example to follow

[@Tottenhamforever]

He was really one of the best in his prime 🔥🔥Hope he will be back in mainline soon

[@DBoy0113]

His bigger than football a warrior that stands up for what he believes in and doesn’t stay mute just for a pay cheque his very real I’ve heard great stories about him from feeding the homeless to giving out bundles of money to the homeless etc great guy misunderstood but great guy and easily could of been better than cr7 and messi

[@charlzjojo2301]

Well he has many trophies some so called accomplish players don’t have.

[@MrVenver]

Fantastic player whom can't be unpinned,I admire him 👍

[@rastafarian8944]

Mario will always be the best . We can't judge Mario's personality, Biological, physiological and sycologi at all. Coaches couldn't stand Mario's behaviour and they fail to understand him what kind of a character he is.. Mario Balotelli still one of a kind for ever.

[@mcchauke9654]

Even if the people who hated him for his talent never scored the goal for Italy at the world cup but he did and since then they have never qualified

[@mozmaori]

The best ever

[@destinyschild2370]

Balotelli remains a legend. He achieved all those things you're talking about when he was younger which is the case for all players. It's wrong to say he failed to lived up to expectations for he has surpassed our expectations.

[@djbestdbaddest122]

He got the potentials he has also achieved trophy wise terms of majors but in all individually a down career didn't live to expectations but he was a talented footballer

[@soccerctrl]

you pretty much sum up his career

[@RussiaLanga]

Great player in his own right, legend of the game, i love you Mario. We lose great players because of arrogance of coaches. I lost interest in big leagues because there's no super mario. 19 May 2023, South Africa.

[@gazzwonga1414]

Super Mario will be remembered by Man City fans forever. He let us and his team mates down but he was himself, Mancunians like that!

[@norfaizaljumadi5965]

I love him. Powerful and explosive player

[@123tanjeem]

Strikers are the most difficult position to hold on to in the world of football....the most heavily criticised and the most adored...most ballan dors are won by strikers.....unfortunately only two spots max available....he is headstrong and has cost him his position at the top clubs......still he his a prodigy by any measure...he doesn't have the discipline to match his talent...one of the most saddest stories in Italian football

[@michaelleaperGreyhound]

He will never be forgotten

[@edwinugochukwu1423]

Mario remains one of the best players Italy has ever had and one of the world best players. Resisim and predijuse could've contributed to his acts of indiscipline . He's a guy with a very strong character and a good sense of humour = i love him ❤ = SUPER MARIO per sempri

[@mutungiedmund2355]

😢😢😢 Long forgotten Talent International millian Fc ,Manchester City Fc, Liverpool Fc, Olympic Marseille, Basille Fc 😊

[@Manjan88]

With his talent, he was right to strive to be best. He just did not back it up with the right work ethic.

[@scoopybenz]

Worst thing about it we only seen 10% of Mario Balotelli and we may never have the chance to see the other 90% 😩 😩 😡 #DripDRip💧💧

[@soccerctrl]

Same for many would be players

[@balabak221]

balotelli cannot be categorized as a legendary players but can be included in the list of undisciplined players

[@CARLIN4737]

What fall. He oozed talent and knew it. You dont play for those clubs and not have talent. He just didnt take football as seriously as his managers would have liked. A maverick.

[@ayansengupta8474]

he couldnt handle media and professionalism ....he was just straight forward man ....he definately a good footballer

[@tzortzkawaz6892]

18 goals and 4 assists in turkish league is nice season and with bonus payment for sure. Man earned his bread , live him alone.

[@DJTITLEHAITIANDJHAITI2049]

The king 👑 Mario baloteli ⚽️

[@VikramSingh-fw8hb]

It’s pretty obvious what the problem was, there’s no shortage of talented players. If you can’t work with a coach you’ll just be replaced, that’s why he got transferred so often. No coach could tolerate his behaviour for more than a season or two

[@ycamara9034]

He still won a lot of trophies. So in my opinion he had a great career. You can't stay at the top forever. I never thought I'd like to see CR7 warming the bench of a decent Man U team.

[@johndegregs1777]

Was my favorite player years ago. Type of guy to say FU I’ll do what I want and do what I want.

[@mikeboden8417]

Mario will never have to buy his own drinks in Manchester, he was loved and still is for the legend he became in such a short time.

[@charlesnkrumah4860]

Mario is still young enough to make a brilliant comeback

[@kokalol6828]

In my opinion Mario was one of the World's youngest stars... but I would have loved him to begin with less famous clubs before staring with big names in the game of football.

[@soccerctrl]

perhaps that might have been better

[@emmanuelenyinwa1443]

This is like the 500th video on this topic. Some guys rise like a meteor and fall just as fast. This is noz just in football, but in every sport, and in music, in movies,, in academia, in every walk of life. This is the fate of Mario, of Fernando Torres, of Adriano, of Kaka, of Robinho, of Pato, of Michael Owen, of Ronaldinho, of several, several "next great things". I'm just curious why only Mario gets a steady diet of thesd videos.

[@saucytania]

He acquired fame the same way Madonna did......for his negative side as it was far superior to his positive side.

[@tenang4051]

He is a good player but the attitude must be change

[@debranchistesdumondeentier2946]

he didn't underperform, he performed at his true height. Technically undertalented, he might have performed as a pure 9, Inzaghi type, but instead he was always a bit in retreat, i think, and that he cannot manage.

He underachieved by a long shot not skills wise but for not playing to the fullest of his potential.

[@Deniszey]

@Mellomarke Is that what @Cee Mor is talking about? For anybody to assume or say that Super Mario didn’t push himself to play at his top form is delusional. Clearly what everyone is saying is that, Balloteli couldn’t reach his peak because of his temper, not because he was not working enough to play at his peak. A lot of people put him down because they thought he was stubborn, just as they try to put Cristiano Ronaldo down against Messi every time because they think Ronaldo is proud or he’s selfish or he’s this, he’s that. Ronaldo on the other hand had found solid ground already at Madrid else they would have all succeeded in putting him down because of their delusions. Just leave them alone. Edit: Football didn’t even help C. Ronaldo. He’s huge fan base did.

[@oldstyle8329]

Talento sprecato! Un peccato in primo per lo stesso e secondo per la nazionale italiana!!! Che peccato!

Ronaldo was able to stay on top, thanks to the motivation from his fans. If not they would have put him down. Balloteli’s fan base ain’t so big then.

[@diseasefire]

the last goal that Italy ever scored at a World cup was that one from Mario in 2014. Since they`ve stopped calling him for the world cup the italian team stopped qualifying (yes even this year). Do i need to continue? He`s obviously a legend and an underrated player

[@soccerctrl]

Italy haven't produce a decent striker since the glory days of Inzaghi, Vieri, Del Piero, etc. Balotelli unfortunately wasn't consistent enough and his enigmatic behavior did not help

Super Mario needs driving lessons. Any powerful saloon or comfortable GT coupe will brake as badly as a lorry no matter how well they accelerate and carbon ceramic brakes make things worse by needing to warm up. Old-fashioned drum brakes still have the most surface area for the brake pad versus disc brakes
