How good was Mario Balotelli actually? #GOAT
New video about one of the most controversial and naturally talented players we've seen over these last few decades in football. In this episode we take on Mario Balotelli who played for AC Milan, Liverpool, Man City and Inter for most of his career. - Sport
Btw my editor made a mistake an put in the wrong Conte, I should have checked better but didn't have much time and decide to just trust that it'd be fine, owh well ahah
You always excel man. Once again well done. Please can you do Carlos Puyol? Like seriously this guys has won everything a man can want in football.
Sorry I meant guy. And again to put the cherry he has a beautiful wife. The guy seriously has it all.
A little advice. When the introduction is 30 seconds long. The majority of people either skip it or clicks away. Go straight to the point! :)
That was pretty funny
I think that was, for an italian, the funniest part of the video
Only footballer in history to give half of his wages away at every club to orphans ! Top man
Love this guy, hate racism
@@Notmehimorthem GOD BLESS YOU 🙏
Why is there so much racism in Europe against Black people
@@starloszelson4541 why is there so much racism in Africa towards white people? 🤷🏽♂️
@@adey08 there is NO racism towards white people in Africa. That's NOT possible. RACISM ia a white people thing!
Mario Balotolli was a legend. No footballer ever surfered injustice and hate as Mario yet he persever. He is a human being and has his mental capacity like all of us. Wherever he is ,I wish him love.
Super Mario, pure talent
Mario gave us a sneak peek of reality: greatness mixed in sorrow, glory with a side of bitterness. He gives love, and goals, and gets back hate and injustice, how can you blame him? I wish he reaches unsurpassed success wherever he is.
Very well said BRO !!!!!!!!
yes he received alot of unjustified hate but its really his attitude that ruined his career
@@editsebi8972
NO ! The press hated him a young SUPER GIFTED African....
@@loktstar-kongotronix Read my mind
@@malvinmpi9923 what you say ?
He a legend he was willing to risk his career to tell those who disrespected him to fuck off, many would not be willing to do so and take the abuse doing nothing
And where did he go? And how did he make his life better? He let the one who disrespect him win, they only want him to do bad in life
@@thenitpicker911 umm he is richhhhhhhhh very richhhh so he won people still know him talk about him
@@thenitpicker911 you're not wrong, but at least he kept his pride. and i think he really dislikes to avoid to tell the truth also
@@thenitpicker911 hes made millions mate. Hes good
@@thenitpicker911 pride, goodwill, morality and honor are more important than money and popularity. Dignity is what matters most, and he has tons of money anyway, so he's a winner.
Balotelli did not fail at barca. He was successful at the trial games, he scored 8 goals in 3 games. They were going to sign him but his parents and the club couldn't agree to terms.

@@governmentforshs1-350 smh so tru
@@governmentforshs1-350 😆 yeah, I bet the entire real purpose of FIFA, UEFA, , the FA, the Large Hadron Collider is to keep the black man down...
You imbecile.
@@shogun_arasaka Imb.. what? it takes one to another.
Even though I'm sure he knows logically his parents gave him away because they had to, I'm sure he emotionally has always felt abandoned. Add that with jumping from club to club, media turning on you and the relentless racism..that feeling of abandonment and being unwanted can do many things to a person. Make them go down DARK DARK paths. I'd say he's done pretty alright considering.
Spot on. Not sure how many people even realise this is where the anger comes from and it just gets triggered by anything that happens to him. Until he deals with that root cause, he'll always be this way. And opposition fans know he's easy to trigger, which is why they do racist chants towards him. I feel for the guy because no amount of money or success can heal that pain he's holding. At some point though, you've gotta dive into it and let it go, otherwise the cycles just keep repeating.
@@timothyphoenix1081 100% agree
Absolutely!
He caused himself problems. As for racism Italians were never going to accept him as an Italian, Balotelli was the name of the family that adopted him not his real name he has dual citizenship with Ghana where his parents came from.
@@declancurry4479 The fact that we're supposed to be okay with the fact that italians were never going to accept him as an italian makes one think why there are still white "south africans" and thats accepted
Balotelli is such a warrior. His story is both heartbreaking and inspirational his level of perseverance through the toughest of life‘s moments it’s very commendable. I look forward to say no what is next for him with this new team.
Yes , racist fans and haters stole him
I wonder how many noticed that Balotelli don't usually fall down on the pitch. He holds on to the ball warding off tackles as he waltz around doing his thing. A legendary solid footballer.
He's a big guy.
Yes true
It almost makes me cry no joke when i think about Balotelli
In laughter or?
@@aghastlyghost Im italian so its not for loughter
Well yeah he did Italy proud and it's a shame that he had to deal with all that from some section of the fans, he's well a hero but well a joker as well, proper legend. Who else but Super Mario Balotelli 👏
Same, i enjoyed him at Inter and thats his downfall reallly after city
@@louiepearson2817 his downfall was because he was lazy and took football as a joke
Without him there would never have been an AGUEROOOOOOO.....lol.,love the guy
. 😄
Damn this hit hard 🤣
So sad to see such a talented footballer , not reach his potential.
He was a well balanced footballer...he had a chip on both shoulders 🍟
Favorite sentence of italian people, a nation of head coaches that will never reach its full potential. Only people that never had any potential talk about other peoples potential all the time. 🤣🤣🤣. You know, potentially... you are an astronaut
Tampa vs habd
Sad to see tbh
he must have some interesting thoughts about those PKs yesterday. being from italy and playing in england.
England should hire him to teach their boys how to make a PK.
I'll never forget that game against Germany 😏
😏😏
As a German, me neither... sadly. :D
Doesn't matter if he didn't reach his potential he will always be a legend in my eye's
I didnt forget your assist.. Which led mancity to win at last min.. I know this guy had many haters from club management guys to media guys.. But I respect you as a human being as a world class footballer.. You stood against racism.. And helped a lot of orphans.. May god bless you
Balotelli's following his own path. I'll always be a fan.
Mario versus Germany was a nightmare. He was running up and down the pitch and no one could keep up. I’ll always remember that great player on that day..
The dude would legit win a Ballon D'Or or two in his career, had he shaped up his mentality. He really had every trait as a footballer could dream of.
Yeah but it's a bit like in F1. Coulthard said of Michael Schumacher that Schumacher would have been a great driver without all the trying to take Villeneuve out for the 97 champ, and with Hill before that, and the odd tantrums he threw at other drivers.. but without all those, he just wouldn't have been Schumacher. It was that hot hotheadedness that made him great on his day, you couldn't have the greatness without the craziness. I think it's the same with this guy!
uhh no..he was in the era of Messi and Ronaldo in their prime..he was good but impossible..
@@pareshmathew1596 Yea Messi and CR7 to op Era
@@pareshmathew1596 That's what Iam trying to say. He had their talent, just not their work ethic. He made football look ridiculously easy when he was in the mood.
He's the most abused player of all time,
Man, I had such high hopes for him, during the Euro 2012 tournament.
I really thought he'd be able to settle at another club than City and grow to become a generational great.
Back in Inter I thought he'd win a Ballon D'Or for sure
@@DailyDoseOfFootballYT Man, I just came from re-watching UEFA’s upload of Pato’s quick goal vs Barca.. such wasted potential, those 2.
Yeah men. Me too.
@@bcbitchkkv pato got injured. Not his fault
It hurts to b rejected even after being a star in football clubs ,l feels him bt God is wit u Balotelli coz u hv a big heart
unfortunately in Italy we have a bad disease called racism
@@spiderspy611 whole world
one of the most entertaining footballer to ever grace the game, both on and off the pitch... that 2012 euro form was one of the best i have ever seen from him, man he was really untouchable in the Germany game
Such a grate talent. I feel bad for all the struggle he went through
Great *
@Hungti yes because when fans extremely direspect him with racism actions throwing banana at him every game and yelling monkey chants as soon as he touches the ball, he should just smile and not say anything back. how do you call a man lazy when he is always the top scorer in every team he played for.
Struggle? He had relationships with top models!
@@jayyytuff2148 Salah got met with racism throughout his entire career. He instead fought to play better and shush the fans through actions. Every club he left, fans were sad he was gone. While Balotelli’s approach left fans glad he was gone.
He was shit
Without question this player was the greatest natural talent since Ronaldinho. If you look at the level of competition he performed against with very little support or mental drive he is beyond either Ronaldo or Messi what he did at their age. Ronaldo never once beat a decent premier league defender one on one ,Messi took 7 tries to score against Chelsea and left World cup south Africa with NO GOALS to his credit with one of the most potent attacking teams in the tournaments history that year. So Mario basically won Man City their first title when all the other big players failed. Man city at home against a team that was not only the lowest scoring away team that season ,but were already relegated to the division below. Man City was losing that game against QPR until Mario got the ball held off his defender and put the winning goal on plate for Aguero. He also knocked Germany out of the Euro's with a very impotent supporting cast of italian teammates. His lynching by the Italian and British media was criminal quite frankly . He was an odd ball for sure but he never hurt anyone ,but we see degenerates like Joey Barton rewarded with chance after chance. If Balotelli did one of the things Barton had done he would be banned for life. An absolute disgrace how that boy was treated.
Ashley cole was bodied by cr7
Thank you forever for your thoughtful loving caring words. You are an Angel. It is indeed disturbing how he was treated for his skin color compared to other he was with who had different skin color. It is a hypothetical world with cruel humans filled with hate and ungrateful words. Mario is wished well.
Ronaldo..dribbled every defender in the world
@@iza-acbk CR7? You obviously didn't see him play in the premiership! He would routinely run down the wing and when a defender presented himself Ronaldo would stop, do 20 step-overs in an attempt to unbalance the defender and when it didn't work he would either pass back or sideways. The problem is the British media looking for something to sell to female and homosexual population only focussed and over exaggerated the affects of his step over to nowhere!
@@donsolis12
The only problem is we come here to argue with people who started watching futbol in 2015... But
Lets not even mumble about with words...bring out the games where he didn't dribble past defenders...
A simple hint ...
I think it was only Maldini that seemed hard to pass by..
The rest were soft as a cake..bro
I always loved the guy, his eccentric nature, his charitable side, a truly good person who loved life...then there was his time at Liverpool, that was another level of awful.
Still love him everyone has problems but still one of the greats in my book
Being black and having lived in Italy exactly under his rise to fame , many of us could relate with him , for tourists Italy sounds like an amazing country to visit , but for us living there in the daily , racism was a constant reality we lived with , Mario choose to not play the victim or PC facing racism and many of us followed his example , despite getting even more animosity in response , we didn't care , we were just tired of getting called "sporco negro!" all the GD time.
So I'll always love him for that .
💪🏾
I don't remind a gentleman like Seedorf ever been called sporco negro...
Quite the opposite, he was praised for his quality as a player and a man.
Balotelli should have learnt from him.
@@oinkoink1850 Seedorf knows racism very much from his plays with the Dutch. He was the most decorated Dutch player at the time but never got recognition because he is originally from Suriname.
@@yawos9024 that's not racism. If you are born elsewhere that's completely separate from race
@@yawos9024 Never got recognition? He is a knight of the order of Orange Nassau...
Playing angry birds on the bench fuck this lads funny 🤣
To be fair if he was on the bench he couldn’t help the lads on the field , I’ve seen a lot of players fall asleep on the bench especially if there wasn’t name as a backup on game day so playing angry birds aren’t the worse thing in the world
@@johanjames4663 true that
@@johanjames4663 there is no justification for playing angry birds even if he was on d bench. He's been paid to either watch and learn from his teammates while they play or he plays.
@@yourlandladysson6395 Indeed!
Throwing darts at Manchester City's Youth Players. Legend.
I liked balotelli, there was a couple of times he could have scored against England for Italy but didn't look like he wanted to.😀
👀👀
Lol can u balm him? Why score for a country that calls you monkey?
I remember him scoring against England tho
Great effort put in. I never really knew his story from the beginning. Thanks for this
He was one of my best footballers when I was young
damn, what team did you manage?
that goal and that flex celebration is the highlight of his career ♥️🇧🇩
I'm really a fan of him especially during the 2012 euro and its really shame that he doesn't reach to his full potential because this guy truly a exceptional striker and because of him also Aguero can score his iconic goal that winning Man City their first EPL tittle in 40 years
You always excel man. Once again well done. Please can you do Carlos Puyol? Like seriously this guys has won everything a man can want in football.
He made a mistake by coming to England to play football at such a young age. English media did a number on him and he never recovered.
Our media is the absolute WORST. He never stood a chance here.
Was worth it just to provide the assist to Sergio Agueroooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!
@Grant Kerr Fine then, both English and Italian media is racist. It’s not a zero-sum game.
no. the fucking racistic action against him started in italy.
a country, whith a quite dangerous developement for the last months but also for some decades. too many rightwinging, never thinking pricks.
well, what am i talking about, im from the netherlands but living in germany, which is definately ruled by pricks, too.
@Grant Kerr if you stopped caring, why would you care about someone caring about it pointing it out? In my experience, those who express views like yours are usually closeted racists
Well spoken. Great story about Balotelli's life. I hope he does well at Monza. 💓💯🙏❤️👌♥️💪
Excellent video, excellent narration, absolutely loved it 👌🏾!
Most underrated player in world⚡ respect for this man🐉⚡
WHY ALWAYS ME! Respect Balotelli.
@Neil he was a spoiled brat of an aging white couple
@@MikeMessiah Spoiled brat or not, he endured racist slurs from the spectators, had bananas thrown at him constantly and must have felt demoralized to hear racist chants as soon as he stepped out on the field!
@@nimue4325 i dont condone racism, but Mario was a total dickhead since his training days as a kid, and all the hate he recieved happened for a reason He is the type of guy who is nice to his freinds, and ppl who are "Yes men" but to anyone who strays from his opinion, he is a compelte asshole. Have u seen a football player so hated by his own fans? Almost everyone has an issue with Mario, and that is a ssign of shitty personality.(and a sign of poor parenting)
@@MikeMessiah My friend no one and I say no one deserves abuse he is not a murderer or a pedophile he was a broken man and suffered many times. I would like you to see you go through that kind of treatment and come out the other end sane.
@@MikeMessiah Looks to me like his acting out was a way to cope with racial abuse, always standing out because of the colour of his skin. Shame on the "fans" for acting so sh**ty! That was absolutely disgusting throwing bananas. Anway, I say..Viva Super Mario!
Hugely enjoyable video. Your love of Mario shines through - added with that bit of homour that has been the coping mechanims amongst Mario's mangagers and supporters alike.("Why always me...."-well......)
Dude, your videos have improved so much over the past year. This one is still good, but you can really tell how good you've gotten at this in your newer videos.
Brilliant video. I love Mario! What a talent
When he wanted to play and was on form, then he was unplayable - absolutely formidable!
Maaaaaaan!!! You've made an INCREDIBLE job!!! Well done ! Keep up the work👍🏾💪🏽😉👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Another great Ghanaian football prodigy
Another great video, would like to see one on Raul at some point
I remember screaming happily when he score his 2nd goal against Germany..
Great video mate, I have liked it and subscribed. Looking forward to the next one :)
WOW that was a good one 10 on 10 👍 keep up the AMazing WORK 🙌
Very unfortunate, he was easily top 3 striker around 2011-2012. Some of his misfortunes was his own doing though but he could’ve really made a positive mark on both Italy and club football
Haha you should be on stage, terrible player
I always thought that Mario would be amazing at Barcelona. His technical abbilities would be good enough and yet he have the physicality Barca is missing since years. I was hoping so many tranfer windows he will come... but the closest what I got was Boateng. I asked for the King and I got the prince.
I think had Mario been a little older and playing in the mid-late 90’s that Ferguson would’ve took him to Utd and been the perfect fit as manager. Mario needed bespoke man-management, sadly he never reached his full potential due to being allowed to fly off the rails, despite showing glimpses of excellence. He had that Cantona essence about him for sure.
Thanks, good video and splicing/editing/narration.
I cried when you left Liverpool. I didn't care how well you did I just loved the fact that you play for the team I support. yNwA Mario
He was so good he couldn’t even put a training bib on
Best comment yet🤣
Mario Bibotelli
Legends don't need training bibs. The training bibs need them.
I fucking hated those training bits to .
Ok not
That was great! We did enjoy it. Thanks
Keep up the great work my friend. You’ve got a future career in this 💯
That Giuseppe Conte 😂, you're awesome
This man never misses a penalty such a disgrace to a legend.
Great soul, great troubles. Humble and talented footballer. The world enjoyed watching him play, no matter the skin color. We love him yesterday and today. Nice guy!
Thanks for the great work... I know it took a lot of time but grateful for the info on our voy super Mario 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Great man, I wish him all the best. I hope he now enjoys his football.
This man in the 2012 Euros was fucking incredible. Torched Germany and I loved every part of it
Amazing videos, keep going man :)
Top video, loved it - this guy's career needs a movie. It gets so boring how people keep hating on him for falling short of expectations, he has still had a wonderful career and it's not always about ability with sports. Some players are such characters with wild personalities, Balotelli is no exception and makes the game more fun
After Raúl. Mario is my favorite player ever. So sad we couldn't see him on the big stage more then we got.
Why??.....
In terms of skill and potential, Balotelli was at Ibrahimovic level. He was incredible in finding the net in difficult position. And at least Mancini and Mourinho saw his potential. He was supposed to stand equal with Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi
Such love for this guy, super Mario ✨🔥
Balotelli you’re amazingly talented and a great football player.
Balotelli!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Much respect,,, ppl always see just what's on screen n not what a person actually goes through n live day to day... Still very talented for me n reason y I support Man City today
In a perfect world he would have been a king .
I'm so happy for super Mario as he was recalled by national team, I wish him all the best and I hope he won't let them down.
I love your dose ♥. Kindly cover Didier Drogba, everyone would watch not once. Big up yourself for the perfect narrative 💪💖
Mario Balotelli is the example of the gifted kid that take his talent for granted. He played according on his mood. Scoring a goal whenever he feels happy to do it so. He could be bigger than Aguero or Suarez but sadly his attitude drove him back to his low level right now.
If Balotelli could reach his full potential, he definitely would have won at least 2 Ballon D'ors.
He’s my fav player for reasons outside of the game ⚽️
Thank you for this awesome information
I'll always love Mario. That mad bastard. It's a shame he never fulfilled his potential.
Soccer is a Team sports not each man for himself. Mario will always be a great player.
Great documentary 👏 👍 kudos 👏 💐 🥳
Please pull it together Mario...you still have a spot on the national team bro. I watched you debut with my Inter, I tipped you for success both club amd nationally. The good thing now is, Mancini is the coach. That Italian front three is missing you rn, especially with a midfield trio of Barella,Sensi and Verratti. Then you have Insigne on one side and Bernadeschi/El Sharaway.
Please cover Ronaldinho one day! Love your videos as always bro, have a good weekend! 👊🏼😎
I have already, it's on the channel, one of my first ever videos
@@DailyDoseOfFootballYT oh yea sorry, I’ve seen all of your vids already, I guess I forgot 😅

And racism
Italians too
He destroyed his career due to his idiot behaviour Inter ManCity Liverpool big clubs ,he self destructed because of his lazyness and decipline Italy had enough of him because of his behaviour

It’s tragic he was treated so poorly. When I was growing up he was one of my favorite players, and a real inspiration.
It's sad that mario treated everyone at every club he played for so poorly, only he deserves respect, not the manger, not his teammates, him and only him.
@@paulhodgetts1803 when was it said that Mario treated everyone poorly? Also, disrespect from one person is a is significantly more manageable than racism or disrespect from an entire fanbase. Pretty common sense there Paul

6:16 that roulette he did he explained to Mancini afterwards that he thought he was offside and heard the referee whistled. The whistle came from the crowd watching the game.
I am italian and he was too good to be true
@davide tralli va bene ma non puoi negare il talento che ha dimostrato QUANDO ha voluto giocare, che la testa sia bacata a me dispiace tanto perché tra lui e Cassano avremmo potuto vedere e vincere qualcosa di più
@davide tralli ha avuto la possibilità di avere il mondo ai piedi, ed è nato nel paese sbagliato, fosse stato francese o inglese staremmo parlando d'altro, poi Raiola non lo ha mai aiutato
He was good but y’all acting like he reached prime Ronaldinho level
@@GoGetYourShinebox it's a different type of player, then if you don't like him fair enough
@davide tralli yes he was overrated...he had moments of brilliance but was never consistent..he would miss simple goals that a top striker would put away...plus his toxic mentally was bad for any team
I'm a LFC fan but I can't help liking this guy
Excellent informative video
Discipline is very important with hard work and talent for success
world class player.... but he need to be surrounded with good frens who can guide him and built his mental strength.... anyway great video .. love your effort!!!
Have to respect the family who took him in...
Yes
Mourinho was so kind to him 🥰
I always rated him as a player.
Would have loved him at Arsenal.
I wish him all the best.
Amazing talent.
