Mario Balotelli is a guy you love to hate. Watching him take the first penalty kick against England in the ongoing UEFA EURO 2012 competition made me wonder why he should be the first to attempt the penalty shootout.
As he approached the England goal keeper Hart (who incidentally plays with him in the same team Manchester City) my heart shuddered and I said in my mind “he had better score and score he did.
He is a striker who plays for Manchester City and the Italian National team. He is a controversial player who plays like a free thinker. He has his eyes on the ball and the goal post. Mario is a consummate and intelligent dribbler who can outrun and outwit defenders and he is a coaches’ delight.
Marion was born in on 12 August 1990 and he is of Ghanaian descent No wonder he is so dark. earned his first cap for the Italian national team on 10 August 2010 in a friendly match against the Côte d'Ivoire, becoming one of the first black players to play for the Italian national football team.
He started his professional football career at Lumezzane and played for the first team twice before having an unsuccessful trial at FC Barcelona. He joined Internazionale in 2007. Balotelli had disciplinary issues and threw tantrums.
