I just wanted to play football, but I became a Hollywood god

In today's game, Manchester City's starting center is No. 45 Mario Balotelli.

The 20-year-old Balotelli has just won the European Golden Boy Award. In the words of fans, Balotelli is a standard "world-class from the neck down, Husky from the neck up."

It is really a miracle that Balotelli can exist in football.

There are endless jokes about Bashen that can be said all day long.

The most famous ones are "Thinking about life alone", "Why is it always me", and his incredible singing of the rival "AC Milan team song" in the locker room before the Champions League final when he was at Inter Milan. As a result, he was criticized by Inter Milan boss Matt Lazi unleashed an iron fist, beating him so hard that he didn't dare to make a sound.

Do you think God Ba is now honest?
No, the next day Balotelli participated in a football talk show. The host jokingly took out an AC Milan No. 45 jersey. As a result, Balotelli happily wore AC Milan in front of millions of Inter fans. jersey - Inter Milan fans are all hating it.

Also, he told Pique during the European Cup final that he would invite Pique's girlfriend Shakira to watch the game so that Shakira could see what he did to her boyfriend.

Also when he was at Manchester City, before the game against Manchester United, he celebrated the victory in advance and set off fireworks in the bathroom, which burned down his house - but although he didn't sleep all night, he did win that game.

Also, he was driving with a large amount of cash, but was stopped by the British police and asked why he was carrying so much cash. Bashen thought for a while, and then answered very seriously: Because, I can.

Bashen also claims very seriously that he is the strongest player in the world besides Messi.

There are simply too many things like this.

He wasn't trying to be funny, he really meant it.

Balotelli is born to be a simple-minded person, and his thinking in life is more like that of a child who has not grown up.

He was abandoned by his parents when he was a child and was adopted by a wealthy white family in Italy. Although he showed extraordinary football talent at a young age, until he was 20 years old, he still could not tie his shoes and wear a pullover.

He has a cousin as his assistant, who does everything from dressing to tying shoes.

At the beginning, the bosses in the Manchester City dressing room thought Balotelli was deliberately trying to be a big star, and they were very unfavorable to Balotelli.

But later, as their knowledge increased, the big guys realized that Balotelli was really a weirdo who only developed his body but not his brain.

Although Balotelli always appears in one way or another, it is undeniable that Balotelli is indeed a world-class talented star in football.

As early as 2001, Balotelli, who was only 11 years old, entered the Brescia club and quickly showed his extraordinary talent. As a result, he attracted the attention of many youth training scouts from European giants, especially caught the attention of Barcelona. During the trial training of Barcelona's youth team, Balotelli scored 3 goals in 8 games. His super dominant performance in the frontcourt shocked the Barcelona inspection team.

But it is a pity that Balotelli's agent asked for too high a price, and Balotelli finally passed by Barcelona.

But Inter Milan seized the opportunity and signed Balotelli to Inter Milan's youth team with a super professional contract.

On December 07, 12, in the match between Inter Milan and Cagliari, Balotelli made his Nerazzurri debut. His stunning performance quickly conquered the entire Nerazzurri world. The super player produced by his own youth training The demon star makes Inter Milan fans even more proud. "Super Mario" is the loud cry in the Meazza Stadium.

But Balotelli is not a calm player by nature.

Balotelli regards his Inter Milan coach Mancini as his mentor and father.

Although he always quarreled with his father, only a former legendary star like Mancini in the locker room could suppress him.

Except for Mancini, not even the madman Mourinho can do it.

In 09, in the midfield of Inter Milan's away game against Kazan Rubin in the UEFA Champions League group stage, Mourinho, the Inter Milan's Triple Crown coach at the time, gave various instructions to Balotelli, who had already received a yellow card in the first half. The break was only 15 minutes, and Mourinho gave all of these 15 minutes to Balotelli. Mourinho only spent 1 minute explaining the tactics to Balotelli, including telling Balotelli where the opposite goal was in the second half. direction, don't make any mistake about which direction your own goal is - the remaining 14 minutes are spent talking to Balotelli, asking him not to be angered by experienced opponents and cause non-combatant attrition of the team.

Mourinho said seriously at the time: "Mario, don't be impulsive! It doesn't matter if you lose the ball, we can kick it back. If someone irritates you, don't react in any way. If the referee makes a wrong decision, Decide, don’t have any reaction, don’t let your emotions control you, don’t take the cards! Don’t take the cards!”

Only Balotelli can make the madman Mu Niao, the coach with the most cards in history, say such a thing.

Therefore, after Balotelli came on the field, he received his second yellow card and was sent off in less than 3 minutes. It took less time than Mourinho had to talk to him.

Mourinho was so angry...

In a later interview, Mourinho said that I could even write a 200-page book about the story of Balotelli and I at Inter Milan.

Now, this football superstar has come under the command of his former mentor Mancini. In the first half of the season at Manchester City, Balotelli brought his strength to the peak and led Manchester City to temporarily rank No. 2 in the Premier League standings. [-].

Balotelli has many shortcomings and problems off the court, but in the field of football, Balotelli has almost no obvious weaknesses. Apart from occasionally thinking about life, apart from occasionally not wanting to play football because of losing his temper, apart from being easily irritated by opponents and getting kicked off.

In the first half of the season at Manchester City, under Mancini, this kind of thinking about life and losing temper on the court almost never happened.

Balotelli should have been world-class. With his strength, he should have been able to compete with Messi and Ronaldo. But after two years at the top of Manchester City, especially after Mancini left, Balotelli Turley's decline was unstoppable.

After all, his emotions got him killed.

Even if Balotelli's talent is not as high as Messi's, it is definitely higher than that of Cristiano Ronaldo, but he does not even have one-tenth of Cristiano Ronaldo's self-discipline and effort. Therefore, Messi is Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo is. Ronaldo, and Balotelli is just Balotelli.

But it is undeniable that even if he can never reach the same heights as Messi and Ronaldo, he is still a world-class star, a star with almost no weaknesses in football ability.

Balotelli is also a jack-of-all-trades player. He is only 20 years old, 189cm tall, and weighs 88kg. His whole body is full of muscles and he is extremely confrontational. He is a shooting master, a stopping master, a ball protection master, and a passing master. He is almost perfect. Capable of playing any position in the midfield or frontcourt.

His playing style is different from normal people's thinking, so he is full of imagination.

When other forwards face the goalkeeper and use push shots to shoot, Balotelli likes to make it more difficult, using a flower-footed shot, or Marseille's back-heel shot.

His sense of smell in front of goal, running position, and back-row insertion are all mindless and pure talent level.

Other forwards can already become world-class stars with one such talent, but Balotelli has all the talents.

In fact, originally, head coach Mancini wanted Balotelli to be a substitute, so that Balotelli could take a rest.

However, considering that Balotelli does not like to sit on the bench and only likes to start, and this game is a relatively important knockout match, Mancini let Balotelli start.

Such an opportunity cannot be missed.

Gu Ran met Balotelli face to face, and immediately activated "Force" to capture Balotelli's "Top Pass and Shot: Flower Foot +1".

Balotelli trembled slightly, and then met Gu Ran's gaze. Balotelli frowned slightly, with an expression of "What are you looking at?"

Gu Ran responded with a "what are you looking at" expression.

——One of Southampton's defensive strategies today is to anger Balotelli in order to limit the performance of Manchester City's sharpest spear.

Manchester City's left forward, or left inside forward, is Spanish international No. 21 David Silva.

David Silva is only 25 years old this year. He is 170cm tall and weighs 67kg. He is also a typical technical and fast player.

Speaking of David Silva, we have to mention the 05 World Youth Championship. That was also the World Youth Championship that Messi participated in. Among the best teams selected after the competition, David Silva Silva couldn't even make it into the best midfield team.

The person who defeated David Silva to enter the 05 World Youth Championship and became the best midfielder is the Chinese player Chen Tao.

At that time, Chen Tao had comprehensive skills, outstanding awareness, and skillful footwork. He was really the leader of China's Super Platinum Generation.

At that time, countless Chinese football fans fantasized about the 05 Super Platinum Generation growing up to become national team players and dominating Asia.

pity……

Not to mention dominating Asia, it is barely even considered a third-tier country.

Chen Tao's generation of super platinum players were so deceived by the country that they were left with nothing left. However, David Silva, who was originally not as good as Chen Tao, has gradually grown into a world-class star step by step.

David Silva's confrontational ability is not high, but his crossing and creativity, organizational ability, foot skills, etc. are definitely world-class.

The most admirable thing is that although David Silva's height and weight are not suitable for high-intensity confrontation, as a midfielder/left winger, David Silva's performance on the defensive end is also very eye-catching. His average steals per game and average clearances per game are at the top of the league in the entire Premier League.

Therefore, just because David Silva is only 170cm tall, we must not underestimate his ability and role in counterattacks.
