Death, taxes and Balotelli being mental
Amid all the chaos of the past year, one constant has given us comfort: Mario Balotelli is still out there, being an absolute headcase.
The Italian was at it again this week, congratulating his Adana Demirspor teammate on scoring with a friendly roundhouse kick to the face. Nothing says “well done” like a couple of studs raking your temples.
Balotelli has a proud history of torturing his team mates, dating back to his early days at Man City, when he was fined £100k for throwing darts at the club’s youth team players from a first floor window.
And as recently as September he was filmed lashing out at a teammate after he was substituted.
Just love the mix of embarrassment, weariness and concern on his teammates’ faces in that clip.
Still just 31, Mario should be in his absolute goalscoring prime, but instead he’s leading the line at the Turkish club, where he has managed 7 goals in 18 games this season.
