mario balotelli

[stand]

At Milan, Balotelli is failing yet again. Unlike at City where he had fierce competition for a place in the starting lineup, Balotelli is guaranteed to play every game for Milan. But he has failed to show up in big games such as the those against Inter, Roma, and Fiorentina. His rate of 6 goals in 12 league games is nothing to write home about.

His penalty miss against Napoli cost his club a valuable result, and I think that game marked the beginning of the end for him.

The fact that Balotelli has been booked as many times as he has scored shows that he is a low-quality player with an utter lack of professionalism and mental strength.

He has to be the biggest cheat and diver in the game today. When things don't go his way, he resorts to diving in the penalty box, which is the source of many of his goals.

Balotelli is now facing some serious competition for a place in Italy's national team. Giuseppe Rossi is the top striker in the Serie A right now: his performance against Juventus was historic. Balotelli is also being outperformed by Torino forwards Alessio Cerci (9 goals, 7 assists in 17 games) and Ciro Immobile (8 goals in 15 games). Teenager Domenico Berardi is enjoying a breakthrough season with Sassuolo, with 7 goals and 5 assists in 12 games. Cassano is in fine form, as are veterans Totti and Luca Toni.

Excellent work,comrade.
And that is without mentioning Dani Osvaldo(who is a super planB) and the evergreen Antonio Di Natale,who I'm sure is getting goals by the bagful.

Actually Di Natale is not doing so well this year. If you want a veteran that is doing well, it's Luca Toni from the all-White, "right-wing", "racist" Hellas Verona (8 goals, 7 assists).
The only reason Balotelli is offered the opportunity to play in AC Milan so much is because it's currently a second-rate team. In any first-rate European team (Barca, Real, Bayern, any top EPL team, PSG...) he would be sitting on the bench, if that... Tere is a reshuffling in AC Milan these days and Silvio Berlusconi (the team owner, former Italian prime minister) is pushing his daughter - Barbara Berlusconi - to become president and replace Adriano Galliani. Galliani will probably be out by the end of this season. There is an uneasy co-habitation between Barbara Berlusconi and Adriano Galliani at the moment. One of the main reasons Galliani is being pushed out is the purchase of "Super Mario" and the whole fiasco around this transfer. Barbara supposedly does not appreciate Balotelli and is trying to place him somewhere (at least on loan) during the winter transfer window. However, there are no takers. No "big" team (that can afford pay) wants to touch him with a 10 feet pole... So Milan are stuck with him until 2017.

Ideally they could send him back to Africa.
Jokes aside,some or the other Jew will buy him...Jews love paying big money for black flops.S&M you know.

And the media is still blowing Balotelli's trumpet.
If you follow only the English press you would never hear the names Rossi,Cerci or anyone else.As far the british(jewish,actually) press(whom I follow a lot) are concerned,there's only one Italian forward in this whole universe:Mario Balotelli.Some crooked jews even write about how the EPL is missing Mario Balotelli....those are depressing to read.

Every week or so,I see some or the other article hailing him as the finest of this generation.....that he has the potential to rival Messi.....or that he will be the star of the Brazil world cup......blah,blah,blah.
You'll be hearing about Balotelli needing 'time' till he turns 30

Well,in the current context atleast you cannot argue that Balotelli is indeed not a top player.

balotelli cried today in the defeat of the very black AC milan (only 4 white starters) when he was subbed off
ofcourse in many countries people accused the italians of racism, but it was denied by AC milan's coach:

Clarence Seedorf seemed to dismiss rumours Mario Balotelli’s tears were down to racist abuse. “It was actually beautiful.â€￾

The striker broke down on the bench after his substitution during Milan’s 3-1 defeat to Napoli. He had just missed a great scoring opportunity at the Stadio San Paolo.
There have been some reports outside Italy that he was crying because of racist abuse from the Napoli fans, but there appears to be no evidence of this.

AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli has come in for heavy criticism from some sections of the Italian media following his performances in the two legs against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.

The seven-times European champions crashed out of the competition after a 5-1 aggregate loss to Atletico Madrid, who humbled the Italian giants 4-1 in the last-16 second-leg tie on Tuesday night.
The Gazzetta dello Sport was critical of Balotelli after the Italy international failed to make any impact over both legs. "Balotelli remains switched off,'' read one Gazzetta headline. The Corriere dello Sport added: "Terrible performance by the Rossoneri. Kaka goal, Balotelli disaster.''
Tuesday's result was the latest setback for a Milan side that have endured a dismal campaign and are 38 points behind Serie A leaders Juventus.

what a contrast between balotelli and diego costa in that match
diego costa has better team mates though

here is the original article in italian:

http://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/Champ...ions-finisce-una-squalifica-80215641777.shtml

and here they give him the worst rating for the match:

http://www.ilgiorno.it/milano/sport/calcio/2014/03/11/1037881-Pagelle-Milan-Atletico.shtml

i don't speak italian but from what i understand they say:

" "Fuoriclasse" (italian term to say something like world class) definitely not. Champion? Probably not. Player that gives too many blows (too violent) and that is invisible in too many moments of the game (then they say something about the yellow card that he once again received)
borderline embarrassing
incredible contrast with diego costa"

i think that in the future with italy and/or with his club, balotelli will be used as a second striker because he doesn't score enough goals and is not good enough to be the main striker of an ambitious team

Great find,as usual,Frederic.

This is what he did...nothing:

And yes,he played the whole 90 minutes.:mmph:

I predict a move to Galatasaray/Russia soon.

some more criticism of balotelli from italy:

The Rossoneri's European Cup hero from 1962 feels that the Italy international will never learn from his mistakes and that the club can no longer rely on him to perform
AC Milan icon Jose Altafini has labelled Mario Balotelli a "failure" and says that club must consider selling the striker this summer.

The 23-year-old has netted 22 goals in 32 Serie A appearances (note: including 8 penalties) since joining from Manchester City last January but his form and attitude are once again under scrutiny after a lacklustre showing against Atletico Madrid in midweek.

Consequently, when it comes to analysing what has gone wrong for struggling Milan this season, Altafini does not feel that the finger of blame should be blamed at CEO Adriano Galliani.

"Adriano has done what he could," the European Cup winner told the Corriere dello Sport. "The real failure is Balotelli.

"By now, it's no longer a surprise. He just continues always doing the same things.

"In my opinion, he doesn't need to be given any more importance, in the expectation and the hope that he will eventually be able to figure something out.

"The great players distinguish themselves through the character and their personality. Well, not in his case. Just compare him with Kaka."

from costacurta:

He is not a star and in my view will never be a world class player.

Crybaby Balotelli is sad, and desperate to leave Milan:

http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/jun/27/replaceable-mario-balotelli-leave-milan-agent

There have been several more reports in British media (never all that reliable) that Arsenal would be the likely team he'd go to. What has he accomplished in Milan that would make him attractive to Arsenal?

 

[ThePhilosopher]

What has he accomplished in Milan that would make him attractive to Arsenal?

Eh,what kind of a stupid question is that?

Haven't you heard of his 'room brightening smile',which has permanently reduced the power bill of the San Siro's home dressing room?

 

[davidholly]

Balotelli is locker room poison, why the hell would anyone want him?

 

[ThePhilosopher]

Mario Balotelli starts the first game his Liverpool.

Balotelli has scored 20 goals in the EPL in his three seasons in which he played in it.Just arrived at Liverpool,probably carrying Ebola.

Ricky Lambert has scored 28 goals,only in the last two,which were his only seasons in the EPL.
Lambert has had a full pre-season under his belt,and isn't prone to a chimpout.

Ricky Lambert has 14 assists in his two seasons in the EPL.Balotelli has 16 in all the league games he has ever played(Both stats are from Whoscored).

Yet,Balotelli starts.If you're a DWF/jew/goy/wog,it makes sense.

I am not a soccer fan but I hate this mother****er. Drop the italian surname - I have Italian heritage and surname and that black piece of **** is not italian at all. It disgusts me.

Ummmm...Balotelli isn't Italian.He's jewish:

Balotelli's upbringing was quite strange as well. Born in Italy to Ghanaian emigrants, he had major health problems as a child, and was adopted by a foster family, later taking on their name. Earlier this year, after the Italian team visited Auschwitz, an improbable truth came out: a somber Balotelli revealed that his adoptive mother — "my mother", he calls her — is Jewish.

Link.



Its funny how suddenly,the press calls her 'jewish' and not 'Italian':

As long as a single jew is alive,the white race is under the threat of extinction.

Balotelli's "miss of the year" against QPR with relaxing music. The 16M pounds transfer and media darling "Super Mario" failed to score a single goal in EPL thus far.

Some internet reactions on this can be found here http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/...premier-league-drought-continues-9804663.html

A great article about Balotelli:

Choice bits:

The 24-year-old has now had 30 shots in the Premier League without finding the net, while his total number of top-flight assists still stands at one over two spells.

While the rest of the team huffed and puffed, Balotelli scuffed, having only two fewer shots at goal than his total number of completed passes

Brendan Rodgers is apparently learning what we've know for years about this clown.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...isfiring-striker-technically-good-enough.html

It's mind-boggling how much money teams have wasted on this guy year after year with such little return. Yet I'm sure he'll get another big payday after Liverpool kicks him to the curb. Dat Upside!

The £16million signing from AC Milan sent fans into a frenzy back in August- and expectant supporters promptly spent £50,000 on shirts with Balotelli's name and number on.
But Reds supporters upset with the Italian's performance on Wednesday during the defeat to Real Madrid, can trade in their No.45 shirt for one featuring the name of a former Reds goalscorer.
Some fans queued around the terraced houses to exchange their Balotelli shirt for ones reading Rush, Fowler and Owen - provided for free by Paddy Power.

There are persistent rumors about him moving to Napoli on a loan.

In the meantime, there is a sob story about him being in a poor form because he misses his daughter. The daughter is the result of him impregnating a slutty Italian showgirl a few years ago. It then took a DNA test for him to recognize the child, for which he never had any interest.
