Balotelli – the real deal?

Question

19-year-old Inter Milan striker Mario Balotelli would be universally regarded as one of the best talents in world football if it wasn’t for his questionable temperament.

The Italian has the lot: pace, strength and bundles of skill; yet, it’s his mental weaknesses which have let him down so far. If the man nicknamed ‘Super Mario’ can control his temper and emotions then he will be a household name throughout the next decade.
