Mario Balotelli

[K.I.]

Would this not make it worse? If everything he said and did was heartfelt then he s a bigger asshole then even i suspected.
I always thought it was just a hot head reacting to too much pressure but apparently not.

Anyways i m 100% sure he s gonna fail at the next big club he joins. He s not gonna live up to expectations once again and is gonna start his antics as soon as shit is not going his way.

I think they are kinda the same thing, being a hot head always led him to act on his emotions. Which is what the guy said.

It's better than 5 goals in what, two years? Anyway he's heading back to Bbilan because no one else wants him.

I don't see him at Milan actually. He already had 2 stints there and it's never ended well. He's mentioned he won't go back there and I don't see Gattuso wanting him.

I've heard Marseille are looking at him. There were rumours of Napoli/Roma, but I don't think either truly want him. I could see some midtable EPL team going for him. Maybe he can join his buddy Arnautovic and go to West Ham.

I think they are kinda the same thing, being a hot head always led him to act on his emotions. Which is what the guy said.

Well my point was that i could forgive throwing the inter shirt on the ground if it was a reaction to the heat of the moment what i cannot forgive is throwing the inter shirt to the ground when it was heart felt.

I could see him at BBilan simple cause they are the only big team desperate enough to take a gamble on him, no way is ancelotti gonna give him a chance and him joining Roma when totti is one of their directors (or wathever role he still has there) is rather unlikely imho.

 

[K.I.]

I think he was angry at that moment which caused him to throw it, i don't think he was like happy to throw it or was like celebrating what he did. His coach should mention to him that not everything he does is positive even if its "heartfelt".I did read that was one of the few things he regretted doing in his career for what its worth.

Balotelli: 'Not fined for weight'

Mario Balotelli denied he was fined by Nice for being overweight and replied to critics with a sarcastic selfie.

The striker disappointed for Italy in their 1-1 draw with Poland for the Nations League last week.

He was left out of the squad to face Portugal three days later and not included when Nice took on Rennes in Ligue 1.

After reports he was fined by the French side for being overweight, SuperMario hit back on Instagram.

“Me fined for being overweight? 1 Look at the physique I’ve got! It’s laughable that you talk of me being overweight,” he wrote on Instagram Stories.

“2 Now go **** yourselves with your invented garbage! Now you even say I’ve been fined? Whoever wrote that ought to lose their job.”

Balo then showed a sense of humour about the situation by posting an artificially-inflated image of his torso.

“I just took this selfie! All doubts cast aside!”

Francesco Totti admits his kick on Mario Balotelli was ‘horrible’ but insists ‘it was building up for years’ as ‘he insulted me’.

Totti was infamously sent off for kicking out at Balotelli during Roma’s 1-0 defeat to Inter in May 2010, and the Giallorossi icon was asked about that incident by La Repubblica.

“Milan wanted me when I was 12? In that case, the ‘no’ was from my family, especially my mother,” he told the newspaper.

“She’s old-fashioned: apprehensive, possessive. My dad worked late, so it was always her who was behind me. She wanted me all for herself.

“My kick at Balotelli? He’d been provocative for years. He insulted me and the Roma fans. It was building up and then it exploded.

“It was a horrible foul, just to hurt him. But then, strangely, the Inter players didn’t confront me.

“As I left the field, Maicon even gave me five. The feeling was that even among his teammates, Balotelli created some irritation.

“I didn’t want any champions at Roma? Rubbish. If champions didn’t arrive, it was because of budget limits, not me.

“I’ve always wanted to win. Sour grapes when we won 3-0 against Barcelona because I wasn’t on the field? There’s always criticism, regardless of your actions. I know how I felt about it and I have nothing to prove.

“It’s true that I didn’t celebrate the first goal, but that’s because we hadn’t yet killed the game off.

“I got up for the second one and for the third one, I gave my son Cristian a hug. Those who criticised me didn’t see me.

“Capello? You're always wrong when you talk to him. He knows a lot, but the last word must always be his.

“If a pigeon passes and he says it’s a seagull, he’ll show you that it’s a seagull. He’s stubborn and a perfectionist. A maniac, even.”

Where were you during this whole long thing with leaving Nice?

 

[brehme1989]

He rejected a move to Brazil to partner up with Gabriel Barbosa in order to join Brescia. Still not offciial, but very likely at this point.

I actually feel that they can be a decent team. Tonali, Balotelli, Morosini, Dessena, Sabelli and Martella is a decent core for a team challenging for survival. Could see them ending up around 15th with limited chances of going down. [Hopefully Sassuolo goes down this time]

Former Inter GK Enrico Alfonso is their #1, not sure if he's the first choice GK as well.

[Hopefully juventus goes down this time]

Hopefully Balotelli doesn’t corrupt a good Italian talent in Tonali

You can read from his interview that he is one asshole fucker on and off the pitch

 

[Candreva Crosses]

That's why I think Icardi will suit that club perfectly since their club legend is a cunt.

 

[Bergpavian]

Totti said that this fouls "was building up for years"? God, I hate this jerk. When it happened in 2010 Balotelli was a 19yo boy while Totti was ... Don't know ... 40?

Official: Balotelli joins Brescia

Mario Balotelli has officially signed "a multi-year contract" for his hometown club Brescia as a free agent following their promotion to Serie A.

“Mario Balotelli Barwuah is officially a new player of Brescia Calcio S.p.A. The Footballer has signed a multi-year contract with the Rondinelle,” read a statement.

“The return to Italy, after three years, was made possible by Mario’s determination and enthusiasm to return to Brescia, the city where he grew up and where since he was a child he stood out for his physical and technical skills.

“Tomorrow, August 19th, the footballer will be officially presented at the Brescia Calcio headquarters, Via Solferino 32, at 4.45pm.”

It had been reported to be a basic salary of €1.5m for one year with numerous extra bonuses and add-ons for goals scored, appearances, Italy caps and an automatic renewal in case Brescia avoid relegation.

Balo was born in Palermo, but moved to Brescia aged two and his adoptive family still lives there. "Finally, I am coming home to MY CITY," wrote the player on Instagram. "Brescia, I'm here. #homecoming"

The 29-year-old striker returns to Italy for the first time since 2016, when he ended his Milan loan from Liverpool, going on to feature for Nice and Olympique Marseille. He was a free agent after the Marseille contract expired and had an offer from Brazilian club Flamengo, but opted for Brescia upon their promotion to Serie A.

It is reported he had agreed the deal on Friday, but Brescia would not announce it on Saturday August 17 because of President Massimo Cellino’s superstition. The Number 17 is considered unlucky in Italy and former Cagliari and Leeds United President Cellino would not have any 17 jerseys in his squad, nor even a number 17 seat in his stadium, naming that chair 16a.

Balo has never actually played for Brescia, as he began his career at the Lumezzane youth academy, moving on to Inter in 2006, aged just 16. His other clubs have been Manchester City, Milan, Liverpool, Nice and Olympique Marseille, although he never disguised the fact he was a Milan supporter.

Contract until 2022, I guess he eventually rejected Brazil because he wants to feature at Italy NT, especially with Mancini being there.

“Thank you Flamengo supporters for all the messages and displays of affection I’ve received from you in recent days. Good luck to you all!” the Italy striker sportingly wrote on Instagram.

For those who believe Balotelli has matured didn`t you see his clip that went viral?

Balotelli shared footage of the bizarre stunt filmed in Mergellina near Naples, Italy, on his Instagram account. In the short clip, a chubby man wearing just his pants is seen sitting on his Vespa scooter by the quayside while a small crowd gathers around. He accelerates and drives straight into the sea with a huge splash. The man - believed to be a Naples bar owner - climbs out of the water as his Vespa sinks below the waves. Balotelli filmed the clip and can be heard laughing in the background. Later, he posted a clip of the engine trying to be started again. He wrote: "Philosophers... here is the 'polluting' Vespa fished out." Amazingly, after a few failed attempts, it kicked into life and starts working again. The ex-Man City, Liverpool and Inter Milan star was reportedly seen offering the bar manager €2,000 to carry out the ridiculous stunt. He was later seen pocketing the cash, telling Italian media: "My moped was only worth €600 anyway". But Balotelli later denied that he had paid the man to drive his moped into the sea. He posted a message to his 8.8million Instagram followers, writing: "I wanted to clarify that the bet was not monetised but it was a whole scene for a joke." Super Mario also slammed Italian reporters for "posting fake articles".

Of course he was trying to deny it: he laughs his ass of for being capable of making {white} people do stupid shit for money, just because he CAN afford it. Here is the video showing him paying the money and lighting up a cigarette afterwards
[youtube]HP6IqLHJIxE[/youtube]
Since it was pollution of the water, a fine of €4000 was issued (€1000 if payed in < 60 days), the Vespa has been seized [the paperwork was expired] + 5 points removed from the driving`s license: this is the penalty imposed by the Municipal Police of Naples to Catello Buonocore, the man who launched himself into the sea in Mergellina riding a scooter for a bet of 2000 euros with Mario Balotelli.

Back to football: Mario Balotelli will not be able to make his Brescia debut until the end of September due to still serving a ban from his time in France.

Brescia are set to announce Balotelli’s arrival after Flamengo pulled out of the race yesterday.

However, a key detail that has gone amiss is the four-match suspension he incurred for a high tackle from behind during Olympique Marseille’s 1-0 win against Montpellier on May 24.

Despite picking up the ban in Ligue 1, it is effective in all League competitions, including Serie A.

Therefore, the 29-year-old will miss the Rondinelle’s openers against Cagliari, Milan, Bologna and Udinese.

He could then finally make his debut for the club against champions Juventus on September 29.

SuperMario effect small club, no-pressure environment is his place to be, will probably suit him the best. He will do great and will contribute to saving Brescia from relegation. But please don`t start with posts "he should be back" during the season :chan: we are exterminating the Wanditos because of unprofessional behaviour, and I think we can all agree that Icardito is a much better finisher.

Damn he is 29 already...
