18-year-old Inter Milan won 3 championships and 1 Champions League, 22-year-old European Golden Boy Award, 35-year-old Chinese Super League, genius conflict

Mario Balotelli was born on August 12, 1990 in Palermo, Italy, and her parents were Ghanaian immigrants. He was born with a tragic background - he suffered from congenital intestinal disease at birth and was abandoned by his biological parents at the age of two. Fortunately, a Jewish couple named Balotelli was adopted. As for this player, he showed his football talent from an ordinary person since he was a child. He joined the local team at the age of 5 and played well in a group of white children. He was even asked by other parents to "fire that black boy."

15 years, 7 months and 26 days, Balotelli made a debut for the Serie C team Lumezane, setting a record for the youngest appearance in the Italian professional league. The then coach Pedzoli patted his chest and said, "This kid can win the Golden Balls in the future!" In 2007, Inter Milan signed him with a youth team contract, played in Serie A at the age of 17, scored in the Champions League at the age of 18 and 85 days, and three Serie A champions and a Champions League trophy in hand. Mourinho shook his head and sighed, "His brain seems to be stolen by aliens."

This is not groundless. In April 2009, Juventus fans were humiliating him by the monkey in the stands. He kicked the ball into the audience with red eyes, and then shrank in the locker room and cried until he shivered. In 2010, Mancini took him to Manchester City. After scoring twice in the derby game, he lifted his jersey and revealed a slogan "Why Always Me?" - his bathroom was just burned down due to fireworks that day.

In the semi-finals of the 2012 European Cup, he took off his clothes and roared. His muscle lines were clearly like Michelangelo's statue. He could turn his head and spray with his teammates on the balcony of the hotel with fire extinguishers.

If you want to talk about his football talent, God is chasing him to feed him. In the final match of the 2011-12 Premier League season, Manchester City fell 1-2 behind the Queen's Park Rangers in stoppage time. He fell to the ground and poked the ball to Aguero with his toes, making the most famous 9320 finale in Premier League history.

He was only 22 years old that year, the winner of the European Golden Boy Award, worth 40 million euros. Guardiola said he was a "mix of Italian and Ronaldo, Brazil."

But the more dazzling Balotelli's talent is, the more dazzling his willfulness is. Manchester City's locker room darts slammed the youth players, the training ground and the Liverpool team were scoring 4 goals in 28 games. In 2016, Nice Club took him in. He scored 8 goals in the first eight games of Ligue 1. Fans sang "The Return of the God of Ba", but he turned around and made headlines because of a nightclub fight.

He joined the Swiss Sion team in 2023 and received an annual salary of 500,000 euros. However, in the relegation game, he was sent off by a red card for complaining that his teammates did not pass the ball, and watched the team be relegated.

The most regrettable thing is the 2014 World Cup. On the night Italy was eliminated in the group stage, 23-year-old Balotelli squatted in the locker room and muttered: "I am the last to score for Italy?" No one dared to answer - he indeed became the only goal scorer of the Blues and the last goal scorer of Italy in the World Cup for eight years since then.

Now the 35-year-old "Ba God" has returned to the Turkish League and has been with him. This is his third time joining the team. He once had a highlight moment in a single season with 19 goals and 6 assists. He set a record for the Turkish Super League in a single game and won the Silver Boot Award, and once returned to the Italian national team. Later, due to weight gain, injuries and off-court misconduct, firecrackers in the locker room, malicious fouls and red cards, etc. He once publicly mocked coach Montera to celebrate his actions provoking his opponents, and was criticized for "lack of professional qualities."

Look back, Aguero, who is the same age as him, was given the title of foreign scorer in Premier League history when he retired. Neymar, who is two years younger, is counting money in Saudi Arabia. Even Carol, who is always compared, has transformed into a coach. Only Balotelli, like a meteor stuck between a genius and a madman, could illuminate the night sky, but he was about to fall into the mud. In Mourinho's words: "Mario will always live at 15 years old - the age that only needs to play football, not be an adult."
