Mario says Hi.
Mario Balotelli, Italy
Still just 23 years old, Balotelli has own history of Cassanatas, but he reached mythical status while playing for Manchester City. During that time, his undershirt messages and a constant stream of fantastical and bizarre tales about him in press that ranged from his friends setting his bathroom ablaze with fireworks (true) to driving around Manchester dressed as Santa Claus (false) coincided with his emergence as one of Europe's best young strikers.
He was a standout performer at Euro 2012, leading Italy to the final as one of the tournament's top scorers. Since then, he's moved to Milan, had a daughter and settled into a quieter personal life while continuing to score goals and combat vile racial abuse. But, aside from Suarez, no other player in the world elicits stronger emotions from all other human beings simply through his natural existence than Balotelli. If he doesn't cause controversy himself, it gets invented around him. He is the package of Mentos in the World Cup's two-liter bottle of Coke (which happens to be a World Cup sponsor!).
馬里奧·巴洛特利(Mario Balotlli),意大利
巴洛特利只有23歲,但也是個(gè)有故事多多的人了。他在效力曼城時(shí)期獲得“巴神”稱號(hào)。當(dāng)時(shí),他球衣內(nèi)T恤上的字(為什么總是我),媒體時(shí)常報(bào)導(dǎo)關(guān)于他搞笑,離奇的故事,比如他的朋友在他浴室里放煙花導(dǎo)致火災(zāi)(是真事),在曼徹斯特穿成圣誕老人開(kāi)車兜風(fēng)(假的),但同時(shí),他還是歐洲最好的年輕前鋒之一。
他在2012歐洲杯上是個(gè)力挽狂瀾的角色,作為杯賽射手前幾名帶領(lǐng)意大利進(jìn)軍決賽。之后他轉(zhuǎn)會(huì)到AC米蘭,有了一個(gè)女兒,過(guò)上了相對(duì)寧?kù)o的生活,也繼續(xù)斬獲進(jìn)球,與可恥的種族歧視做斗爭(zhēng)。然而,巴洛特利是蘇亞雷斯以外最容易被激怒的球員,而且這僅僅因?yàn)樗前吐逄乩?。即使自己不惹起?zhēng)議,問(wèn)題也會(huì)縈繞在他身旁,巴神就像加入大力神杯里兩升可口可樂(lè)(恰好是世界杯贊助商)的一包曼妥思!
