Manchester City’s striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429.
During the game against the Gunners, the striker was played on the left side of the attack, in a role that he wasn’t very comfortable with.
However, the player started showing signs of frustration early on in the game and when things didn’t go his way, he went on to throw in some very dangerous tackles.
The Italian international very nearly broke http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-Song-c4804’s leg in half, following a very dangerous studs up challenge to his knee, but with the referee not being able to see the incident, he allowed the striker to continue.
In the second half, the forward was eventually shown a red card in the dying stages of the game. What makes his sending off all the more interesting, is the fact that he could be suspended for as many as three extra games, since the referee didn’t see him stomp Song’s knee.
As a result, he could miss out on five of the remaining six games that City have to play this season.
Balotelli had already been dropped from the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 squad earlier in the season, but the forward has now decided to repent for his mistakes, as he hopes to win over the City fans and stand a chance to play in the Euro 2012.
"I want so much to be recalled to the national team; for me this is the most important thing," the enigmatic forward told ANSA through his agent, Mino Raiola.
"I hope to be back in blue in April. I have already lost out on a call-up to the national team once. I don't want to do it for a second time.”
"I am very sorry for what happened, for disappointing Manchester City and in particular Roberto Mancini, whom I respect and whom I love."
It is now going to be an interesting wait to see just how http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mancini-c23323 goes on and responds to these comments by the forward, given that the manager already hinted that Balotelli could be on his way out in the summers.
