Mario Balotelli's brother dreams of playing with him

Enoch Balotelli, the 20 year-old brother of AC Milan star, Mario Balotelli has revealed his ambition of joining an English Premiere League team with his brother on board. Enoch Balotelli who has spent most of his career playing for lower leagues in Italy deems the life in England ideal.
“My dream is to be able to play alongside my brother, That’s what I always dream about, only not in Italy but in England. We left our hearts and many friends behind there and it’s a life which, in terms of football, is absolutely ideal for us. Mario’s going his way, and I’m going mine. I’ve never had any favours, otherwise I wouldn’t be here playing in the lower leagues.
If I’d received favours of any kind, I very much doubt I would be playing here, but people are always insulting me for that and my skin colour. I just pretend I don’t hear them and I never react. In footballing terms, I am and I always will be in [Mario’s] shadow. I’ve never had a real opportunity — something which could change my life.”

AC Milan legend labels Mario Balotelli a real failure

Oops! we know Mario Balotelli could be dramatic on pitch but performance wise he’s trying his best. To AC Milan legend, Jose Altafini he’s nothing short of a failure, doesn’t learn from mistakes and cannot be relied upon. Analysing AC Milan’s performance which hasn’t really been too impressive this season, Altafini feels the Italian international takes the greatest share of the blame and not the current CEO Adriano Galliani.
“The real failure is Balotelli. Adriano has done what he could. 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 character and their personality. Well, not in his case. Just compare him with Kaka. I don’t know if selling him is the best solution. The truth is that Milan, in the condition they find themselves in, still need him. Better to wait until the end of the season and then make a decision.”

I also hope it prevents Mario Balotelli from going berserk. According to BBC, Italy’s new national team jersey contains a special tape that provides micro-massages for the players. The massage strips maximise muscle power by allowing the body to recover from exertion more quickly. Manufactured by Puma, the jersey is being showcased on a truck around italian cities.
