Mario Balotelli: I'm misunderstood - Man City talks about his antics

Posted Thursday, January 12, 2012 by The Sun

MADCAP Man City ace Mario Balotelli has given his most revealing interview yet — insisting he is just misunderstood.

The Premier League football star has become infamous for wrecking £100,000 cars, throwing darts at youth team players, making a trip to an open prison and setting off fireworks in his bathroom.

But Mario said stories about him — especially in the Italian Press — are always exaggerated.

And he asked his critics to remember that he is only 21 when they read about some of his outrageous antics.

He also revealed how he has "no friends" in England and if he had to live in Manchester or Italy now he would choose his homeland.

In an interview with Italian magazine L'Uomo Vogue, Mario said: "I am 21 years old and have spent almost two years away from home.

"I have adapted quite well, despite the huge cultural differences.

"But I have no real friends here. If I had to move, right now, I would choose Italy.

"If I buy a Fiat Uno, I read that a guy like me would be more suited to a Ferrari. If I buy the Ferrari, I read that I should have been more down to earth and bought the Uno.

"If I laugh, I'm not serious; if I don't laugh, I'm a sulky rich guy who doesn't enjoy doing the best job in the world."
