Very few players who can strike the ball like him from long range… that goal vs Germany was a prime example. An absolute rocket into the top corner. He always seemed like a misunderstood guy… hard to believe that Italy couldn’t bring him back into the fold when they were so desperate for strikers for so long.
It's not hard to believe at all. Italy is racist to it's very core always has been and alot of balotellis behaviour was down to the racial abuse he was getting every single game.
@@sickmade199 Did he set off fireworks in his own house in Manchester because of the racism he suffered in Italy? I will not disagree with you that Italy is a racist mess but Balotelli is a special kind of crazy, don't underestimate that.
@@DoublePaprikahe enjoyed life. Most people at that age are partying students, he was a professional football player. Don't recall him ever hurting people and a ton of his wages went to charity. Truly a legend!
I have loved football for 40 years. I've never been so impressed by how some handles the ball in my life. Botelli is and was on another historical level.
Not a failure, but I wish I could see a world where Balotelli realizes his full potential, could have been legendary instead of great. Was a joy to watch, especially with Pirlo long balls.
@@pdz__ It was so easy for both of them, Balotelli just knew when to move and Pirlo made sure he's alone and received it on a plate, it was really beautiful.
@@DarkCavaliero He cares too much about his fellowman. Should this not have been the case I bet he could have won the ballon d'or cuz he has all the talent in the world
People often say he had untapped potential and that he was a troublemaker. But how would any of us fared with his background, coming up to the highest levels of your profession, only to be constantly heckled and harassed by low life individuals because of your race? I say he had an excellent career, starting playing senior professional at only age 15 ( messi was 17 and Ronaldo was 18). Let's face it many of you would have been crushed under the pressures he had to endure. Why always me? Because you are the man, the myth, the legend... Mario Balotelli.
@Jay L what a naive thing to say. It's bordering on wicked, actually. You and your neighbors can be of the same race but would have different reactions to situations. Also, is it his fault that he faced racism from so-called fans?
What a beast. It's clear, he wasn't a "normal" player, he had the skills, the physique and the savage and confident attitude to become a world class player. Unfortunately, money, medias and exactly his attitude destroyed his carrier. That's a shame, italy could have one of the best strikers in team's history.
This man is a striker not a winger, he had the strength, positioning, and heading. What else does he need? Even for a striker he had a good dribbling technique. You dont know what you are talking about
I have loved football for 46 years. I have not found a direct or indirect shot like Balotelli. He has baffled the world and your football fans for the skills and artistry he presents with shooting.
😂😂😂 Balotelli never a fail player, he just Balotelli. Look at his goal rate, whenever he is happy, he scores. Score 5 goals in Turkey league. Yes, Turkey League is a minor league, but how many striker can score 5 in one game in there? Not every talented player was born for big club.
Such a boss when he wanted too. Great technique, decent dribbling and streng and range to fend off the opponents. Colorful characters like him are missed
could have been a legit icon with all the attributes needed to be a real but media and difficult character ruined him. will always be remembered as what could have been.
An absolute beast and a fashion icon, it’s a shame how he was completely misunderstood and mistreated I believe this is was the cause to him to spiral out regardless one of my favorites ever..
Proper next Cantona, and I am Middlesbrough football club always but this geezer had brain, clough, teesside tong, lucky boro fc liveforever by order of the peaky blinders Rkid lucky boro fc 🎉
Se avesse posseduto la "testa" giusta, avrebbe potuto diventare un campione leggendario. Resta comunque un grande campione, uno che ha vinto tanto: campionati (nazionali ed europei), classifiche cannonieri, coppe, e in carriera (finora) ha fatto 1 gol ogni 2 partire e mezza. Non molti come lui. Credo che abbia ancora qualcosa da dire. Potrebbe continuare altri 3-4 anni almeno.
Querer representar a un pais que lo acogió y ser abucheado, uno Goleador Nato que mal por la gente que lo malvio portando la camiseta de Italia, me recordo a Hugo Sánchez Jugando en España. GRANDE MARIO BALLOTELI
He's such a dangerous striker. All he needs is a little bit of space and a second or two and he can practically score from any position. Call him back up to the national team for G** sakes!!!!! The Azzurri needs a player like that
Forever greatful to Mario..... It was his pass to Augero which gave City the title..... He also scored some great goals and had great skills as can be seen in the clips.... Mancini could not control him... Pep would have have...
Mario has scored probably the best goals or the most goals outside of the box ever. I have watched a lot of the greats highlights,and man it’s hard to say goal distance goal wise that he was not the best at it.
He once said "why should I celebrate when I score a goal?, this is my job. Does the postman celebrate it when he delivers a letter?" 😂🤣
Everybody can be a postman even u, there no need of skills.
@@mondyardcompany4334 r u stupid? Ur missing the whole point
Not everyone can be an engineer and they don’t celebrate when they do their job
@@mondyardcompany4334 that's so wrong lol. Not everyone is capable enough to be a competent postman
I celebrate after every letter I put through! 😊
He's now in Turkey still scoring puskas nominated goals. I wish to see him in the champions league again since he's just 33

Mario sure hast a lot of trophies and epic moments for a "failure". I will always love Balotelli. Misunderstood. Underappreciated.
He’s definitely not a failure, the fan abuse him a lot though

Dude was the best player in football for sometime. Since he left playing for Italy, Italy has never been the same
Chill😂 never at any point was he better than Messi and Cristiano
Italy did not deserve him
Napoli racist too. Italian teams and fans just racist af
He never was. Most promising up and coming player, yes, but never even close to the best

Many other black players have turned out fine… his attitude was his problem. It was his own fault.

best talent ever in football history
Only a few players I would like to be as naturally as good as modric , bervetov and ballotelli
A pure athletic ability .a Gem unused! !!!!!
He is the guy behind man city's 2012 premier league win
He have the shot tecnique of CR7, Pirlo,Del Piero, Zlatan and strong shot power. Such a shame he didnt evolve into new monster.
I have loved football for 46 years. I have not found a direct or indirect shot like Balotelli. He has baffled the world and your football fans for the skills and artistry he presents with shooting.
What a player he is
Bru.. the step overs at the 4:02 mark... so much style.
His footwork was 2nd to none & he did it with speed + precision
That Rabona is lit🔥🔥🔥
Balotelli really had it all in terms of footballing ability
Those were beautiful goals to watch
My forever striker only zlatan, drogba and Balotelli. Clinical striker, Power, skill and acrobatic 🙌
He wasn't a complete failure, but its just he could've accomplished so much more, he was absolutely insane in his prime.
😂😂😂 Balotelli never a fail player, he just Balotelli. Look at his goal rate, whenever he is happy, he scores. Score 5 goals in Turkey league. Yes, Turkey League is a minor league, but how many striker can score 5 in one game in there? Not every talented player was born for big club.
What an absolute animal. Phenomenal player.
A legendary figure. The ball listened to his feets command. He struck and the ball obeyed. And he is a very cheerful fellow. Wonderful guy!
Balotelli is Raikkonen of football
"just leave me alone i know what to do"
Legend ❤
For me, Mario is the number 1 ‘could’ve been the greatest’ in Football I’ve ever seen.
Mario, the beast ❤😊
Magesterial goal 😅
4:00 That’s the coolest move I’ve ever seen.
Such a boss when he wanted too. Great technique, decent dribbling and streng and range to fend off the opponents. Colorful characters like him are missed
Top gool continued 👏
Man city 💙 winner 💙 and the future champion 🏆
He basically got shamed for everything Zlatan gets praised for
He very underrated player
could have been a legit icon with all the attributes needed to be a real but media and difficult character ruined him. will always be remembered as what could have been.

@@Lykan443 🤨 🤨

Forever greatful to Mario.....

Mancini could not control him...
Pep would have have...
Liverpool's legend
MAGIC MOMENT.

Este negrito es un crack, yo lo quiero en mi equipo!
Step overs coupled with rabona what a player
Super Mario
i m p r e s i o n a n t e

2:58 The defending or the goalkeeping - which is worse?
With this guy the italians had have a chance against the swiss team at the euro 24.
Italian TV.. where you can enjoy each goal from 16 different angles?
Ballotelli looking like a right footed Arjen Robben
SEJA BEM-VINDO AO CORINTHIANS 🖤🖤🖤🤍🤍
Awesome🎉
