The Dark History Of Mario Balotelli
The Dark History Of Mario Balotelli
The Dark History Of Mario Balotelli
One thing I always wondered about him is how he kept such a jolly and playful personality despite going through hell on earth throughout his life. I find it very inspirational.
Exactly, never would’ve noticed
It’s sad how Balotelli was treated, we was a great footballer but racism really killed his passion for football, without racism always crawling on his back, he could had reach his potential. Thanks Vizeh for making this video. “No Room For Racism” and we mean it.
Edit: now coming back to replies I got, y’all are some sick, pathetic bastards for down playing Mario’s long experience with racism, how much brain dead can these replies get?
It’s a true shame, and he’s not the only one. It has to stop.
@@Vizeh I agree, he isn’t the only one, Imagine you were in someones boots, you’re playing in a game and suddenly, fans are making racist remarks about you, throwing racist insults at you, every single match. We don’t live in a perfect world but racism has to stop.
It's a great excuse to have for a lack of focus and tactical awareness
@@breakdown461 You just won me a 500 quid bet with this comment, cheers mate 👍🏻👊🏻
@@breakdown461 Due to constant racism. Worthy excuse
please keep on making these documentary type of videos,absolute class videos
Thank you my friend
You don't have to apologise vizeh for losing your cool. If only the people that could do something about this had as much passion as you have on this subject
I could’ve gone on for another 20-30 minutes of all the articles I found, it’s disgraceful
@@Vizeh couldn't agree more mate
I love how passionate you are about these issues he's faced while also acknowledging that you're white and not wanting it to come across the wrong way. I'm neither black or white but I rate it 👏
Appreciate it lad
The treatment of balotelli will forever break my heart! An individual can only take so much and God this man took a hell of a lot 💔 Thank you for making this unlike many who just do the typical on how he may have acted at times and don't seem to take him seriously this was very heartfelt. This guy was so much more than people ever acknowledge and I feel his acting up and playing around was a way of coping with the constant vile abuse he had to suffer
Italian football is just littered with racism.Just last week, Umititi was subject to racist abuse to Lazio fans. Balotelli had indure abuse after abuse by Italy and Italian fans and executives. This needs to stops
Obviously I don’t want to paint all Italians with the same brush, but it’s really concerning
@@Vizeh sadly as an Italian with ghanian origins you have to keep it in the back of your head when meeting people
@@Vizeh sadly the amount of racism here in italy is increasing. I'm really worried for that. Not only in football, but overall in society and politics
@@emolgah it's actually opposite in America tho
@@sarov7658 from what i'm seeing non very much
I followed you back then because of your burnley commentaries and your silly antics but man, i really fell in love with the latest evolution of your content right now, this is some quality shit right here.
Kind words my friend, I try my best❤️
one time balotelli came to my college completely unexpectedly just because he was driving past and demanded to the staff that classes and the public smoking area be shut down so he could use the toilet and not be pestered by students. They obviously said no go away, thankfully.
That’s mad😂
Yet another banger from VIZ on a very controversial player, that probably sacrificed his own career because of external problems. He was a hero when he showed up for italy but then forgotten cause of his raw character. Still can't believe they haven't called him when Italy needed someone at the top. To most he seems uneducated and all that, but watching interviews with him shows how much he cares about his people and that the unjustified pressure got to him.
I’ve gained so much respect for Balotelli after finding out how bad the situation was and with what he went through. He deserves so much more
Loving the new content Viz it's unreal. Didn't realise how much pain Mario has gone through. It's heartbreaking, no one should be absued at a football match
Thank you, I didn’t know either before making this
i shed a tear while watching this video.
Vizeh, thank for this content, i enjoyed it. with love from Cape Town, SA 🇿🇦
All love man🇿🇦
It's really sad man
I rarely comment. But I just wanted to say that the videos you’ve been making recently about football on this essay style have been fantastic. I found your channel years ago through the Burnley videos. (Being a Bournemouth fan most of them were painful 😅) It’s been great to see your content change and evolve over the years. Keep up the good work :)
Nothing but love man, thank you❤️
genuinely loved this video and it was a real eye opener. thank you for an honest video that can live forever about Mario that no one else would’ve made
We all love Mario❤️🇮🇹
I feel so sorry about him, the first shirt of a football club it was his shirt when he was at ac milan and made me fall in love with football and till this day I know him as a funky football player but I didn’t know he had suffered such a high level racism i have no words i wish him his best ):
This new switch in content made me turn on the bell. Loving this documentary type content that is very much missing on this platform. Football Iconic has done some but id love to see other PoVs and other people tackling this sort of content. Keep it up!
balo has been my favorite player since i started watching football as a boy in 2013. his style, his confidence, his immense talent, and his unrivaled ability to freeze his nerves and dispatch a penalty no matter the pressure, are what made me fall in love with the sport. i would never have laced up a pair of boots if not for him, nor would i continue to love the game long after his peak. i love you super mario, grazie mille ❤️🖤
Amazing video, i love him because i saw him play as a kid man city fan, but you showed his life in a different perspective and it changed my opinion on him, great work!
Mario is somewhat unfortunate to have been raised in Italy rather than Britain, France, Portugal or a northern European nation. He was given up for adoption and unlike a lot of western European nations, there hasn't been quite as much immigration from non-white nations into Italy until recently. There's only been 5 black footballers who have been capped by the Azzurri, so there's clearly a lot of social alienation. He never had a solid support network like other black players in England & France, where racism is clearly far more frown upon. Plus the Italian media have been toxic af.
This is so passionate and sincere man. Very honest video. You acknowledged Mario's lack of discipline but accounted for it by highlighting the abuse he's received all his life. 10/10
12:28
"Li abbiamo fatti neri" means "we beat the crap out of them", "we knocked them down"
It's not at all a racial abuse at all.
Please before stating things about mottos of a language you clearly aren't native, check for someone who can help you out with the script, in before making such silly mistakes
OR, 'we beat them black' you absolute muppet
BOOM and just like that, this video has ended racism.
What this world have done if some random guy didn't say, "with proper education, and a right good slap, we can end racism!"
Truly special stuff here.
This video is incredible, I legit teared up. Keep it up brother.
I still can’t grasp my mind around the fact that we’re in the 2020s and shit like this still happens we still discriminate on race gender sexuality religion. The only thing we should judge on is a man’s character and this man he tried so much to get back and stay up but he just couldn’t it’s a sad fate for a man on the path for greatness
Without Balotelli there wouldn't be No Ageroooooo. Yep that infamous City goal
Be remembered in football history for sure!
Feel like vizeh has found his new video style since the death of fifa in general.. honestly love the mini docs and can see that he enjoys it aswell rather than forced fifa content
Appreciate it lad, I really do enjoy this type of content
These vids are amazing, I can only hope i am watching the start of something great for yourself. I can't stress how much these have made me feel more connected to football than I have been in a long time. So Thank You
One of the nicest comments I’ve ever received, thank you bro❤️
You wrote this so well ! keep up the amazing work brother ! thankyou for these type of videos the world needs it from such a wide perspective . very clean hearted review
it's sad how people like Mario Ballotelli were forced to suffer through this before football PR teams realised racism was bad
As a Leeds fan I know Willy Gnonto won’t be playing the peak of his career here, but I hope he is aware of this and never goes to Serie A.
One of the best videos I have ever watched very well made mate keep it up
Wow, thank you man❤️
what a sad story. I like how you showed your emotion toward the end of the video. You care. People should care. I'm from the US and people claim we are a racist country by default. We have our problems but italy/eastern europe are way more racist to the point this where teams are fined a measley 60-100k and refs not enforcing the rules to stop play. What a shame Balo was rejected by his own country when he had the potentential to be Italy's best striker of his time. they really haven't had a striker of his talent since. Karma
I hope you see this. These videos are absolutely amazing, soo great I cannot believe how well put together they are ! Thank you for these masterpieces !
I hate racism in football, when stuff like this happends in our beutifull game it doesnt just put a bad reputation against the fans, but the entire game. Please seek help if you are getting picked on because of your racial ethnicity. Remember that people will always love you
Absolutely my friend❤
Fantastic work man
I love balotelli truly, he is quality and a character. He has always been abused, regardless of racism. I'm not a city fan or a Italian. Just an observer who witnesses a character that just draws abuse. Always felt for him, still love and glad to see he's still clapping cheeks in Italians series 2
Thanks for this video ! I was pissed after hearing the truth about the racism Mario had to go through. Respect for you for giving us the truth and loved your honesty on this video. Take care 🙂
This was a beautifully assembled piece. I knew of some of the abuse, but not all of it. I knew it was bad in Italy, but that is ridiculous. Thank you this piece.
YOU NEED TO DO A VIDEO ON NILE RANGER!!! Love the vids keep up the great work!!!
Well
I am from his city, Brescia.
and I met the first time as a kid for a friendly match when he was playing for Lumezzane youth system while I was in another Brescia's provincial team, for my village (Castrezzato)
At 16:56 you can see him with Concesio calcio as a kid. Few years later (I guess it was year 2000-01) I played against him. The same year I played also against Manolo Gabbiadini in Zingonia...
Met him multiple times, he's kinda nice dude. Especially when you politely remember him some anecdotes, he laughs a lot.
Was Erasmus in Warsaw when he scored twice to Germany
Ever since I guess I met him 3-4 times between Brescia and once randomly, even in his Concesio.
We have still many mutual friends.
Last year (September 2021) passed by Adana, when I told random people I was from Brescia they offered me a free Adana Kebab, LOL
Great video. Top guy, Liam 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
It’s similar to England players and Saka
I couldn’t believe that happen.
Balotelli will always have a special place in my heart. An absolute beast of a player!
Me too
This was great work, and don't worry about going off, a lot of people feel just like you. Not sure about Europe but I do notice that here in the US black athletes get labeled as "disrespectful" or "divas" for their behavior when white athletes get called "passionate" or "quirky" for doing the same thing. Even when we remove the outright racism there is a bias in the perception of athletes that we need to address.
Cuck
Always a fan of your videos but these types of videos you're making recently are excellent
Glad you are enjoying them!
This is amazing... thank you for this video
Very nicely put. This is an issue that needs to be addressed - there's a reason they're taking the knee before matches in England. Racism has no place in sports - it has no place in society, and life in general. That shit needs to be eradicated. On Mario - I always thought he was a brilliant character. Sad to see how his career didn't pan out the way many would say it 'was supposed to' - but that's sadly the case for many of us - not just footballers.
Respect to Mario. Respect to people. I don't care if you're purple with green spots on, as long as you're a genuine person.
Brilliantly finished.
This video needed to be made
Well done
I'll have to subscribe now 😛
I rate this Liam. Respect to you
Thank you mate
@@Vizeh I been watchin ur vids since like fifa 14/15 when u first blew up and all the Burnley career mode vids and I never thought ud make content this insightful. You’ve come a long way and I’m excited to see this new chapter in your journey
you are a very decent man. Love your channel and the away end at Burnley. 😊
Mario is one of my all time favorite football players. I would definitely love to have him in my team.
6:24 was a BANGER
Really well made video respect to Balotelli, he was a legend
🇮🇹❤️
12:31 "black" doesn't refer to the skin color but the bruises that are black, so it means: "we beat them so hard that now they are full of bruises" and the picture of Balotelli is because he scored the last goal.
really love these investigative videos. Well Done Viz🥺👍👏
Thank you lad❤
Damn straight man,
Love ballotelli he didnt have his head screwed on whilst at anfield but the talent was always there
A smile is the best mask you can put on when your down that sums up Marios career 😢
I just hate racism. Racism is just so disgraceful. Nonetheless, another great video Vizeh, I actually cried during this one. These videos have been so good and you deserve a lot more subscribers.
❤❤
Look listen I don’t really care about the racism shit it’s just a bunch of idiots being idiots.
I wonder why people are so inflamed by that?
If you ignore it it has no power over you.
I don’t see why people just don’t adopt stoic nature and see through issues as just trying to get to you.
@@oceanmike8516 Look listen man you gotta have some empathy here. Not everyone has the same ability to ignore all the negativity, especially considering the amount a world famous athlete gets, we probably can't even imagine. It's like telling people with mental illness to "toughen up"...
Thank you for this video, mate.
Damm this video changed my mind on this man.
I’m thankful it has!
Love the documentary type series
Thank you, I enjoy making them!
As a Liverpool fan, it's a shame he didn't work well with us, but he was entertaining at City. He was a character, and he was brilliant with the football, he was creative and wanting to do whatever he wanted because he could. He was the player that made me fall in love with English Football, because in America, our Football (not the handegg kind) is very blasé. He doesn't deserve to be treated as subhuman. I hope he has a renaissance and comes back to England, because he was Brilliant, and I hope he still has it
Loving these football docs, keep em coming
Thank you lad!
I've gain more respect for you man, almost cried because every time people talk about Mario they say he was ill-disciplined forgetting that he maybe is the most racially abused player of all time.

Thankyou Vizeh for speaking out, and highlighting this utterly abhorrent and profoundly stupid racist bullshit towards Balotelli and other players. Keep up the good work.
I like these type of videos Vizeh. Keep it up
Thank you my friend
You should do an update on Benjamin mendy as its come out that he might actually be innocent after all this time
I will once we get information on the final 2 cases
@@Vizeh ah ok great content rn thanks for the reply. 🙌
Absolutely incredible video. 👏 I knew of some of the history of the racial abuse Mario has endured over the course of his career, but seeing the insane magnitude of it compiled into one video is disgusting. Cannot applaud you enough for showing passion and losing your cool when discussing a topic like this. Very human and can't wait to see more videos from you
All love man❤️
Does anyone have a clue what the track is in the first half of the video.
Reminds me of the class clown at home and at school 😂😂
how him being abused contradicts him being a spoiled child, a bully, a buffoon and having ruined his career da fak
Title is sus
I tried a different title but UA-cam made it not ad friendly
@@Vizeh Now that's even more sus 😼
This is very sad he does not deserve it its a shame that in italy racism still happens in football
Rooney will always get rated for worse action but I'm proud of Ballotelli standing up for our people
Vizeh dub for making this vid
It must really hurt when you put everything into your team and your fans and receive hate in return.
He should’ve just stayed in England. Poor guy
Perfectly highlights the cultural changes needed In Italian football culture
I hope it gets better with time and education
@@Vizeh what a saint and a genius.
He should've played in Brazil, no racism problems would happen around here. He would be a true Idol.
I like these videos.
Thank you
I respect you for saying how you truly feel. People can say such disgusting stuff.
I love how respectful you are to Mario it really seems like you actually care and are not just doing this in front of the camera for sympathy respect.
It’s really shocking to see how bad it got, hope he’s doing well now
Thank you for this video.. I love balotelli
Great video vizeh
Thank you for being here!
Thank you for the video
great video
Thought Balotelli was an extremely talented football, he was fantasic to watch and never knew what he was going to do. His relationship with Roberto at City was like father and son and something brilliant to watch as he was treat like a naughty child by Roberto and at times it was hilarious.
Its a shame his career and passion for the game fizzled out and was never accepted because of the colour of his skin, and something that should never happen to anyone in any career.
While the racism was horrible, balotelli should have handle it better. Just like Internet trolls, once you react they got you.
All the bad stuff he did must have been a way for him to be distracted from all the abuse. The mentall strength to be in the italian league all those years with the amount of abuse
I’m grateful he did now, so he’s remembered for people a funny guy and not just for being a target for racial abuse
He was born on the same day I was born August 12
Empty vessels sound the loudest
Him ruining his career has nothing to do with racism. His attitude is to blame. He was coached by the best manager in the world, he played in the best clubs in the world but he never worked hard. And he had many (also second) chances to prove his worth but he did not care. His managers had hard time to deal with him too. You can sympathize with him over the racism he endured but that does not excuse his laziness. He should have ignored all this BS and focused on reaching his full potential by adapting a good and positive attitude instead of complaining and throwing tantrums(to leave the pitch).
By no means do I disagree that Mario’s career being the way it is purely because of racism alone, but it is a massive factor
Imagine on a regular occasion you go out on the pitch you get racially abuse, it’s going to make you demotivated isn’t it
Thank you!!
Good video ❤️
Appreciate you❤️
Fire already
I remember watching him tear Germany apart at Euro 2012, so sad what happened next, the racist abuse he has received throughout his career is sickening
"I don't work hard or try at all, so instead of blaming my failure on myself, I will blame it on racism" absolutely hilarious, like other players haven't experienced racism in their lives.
he was one of my favorite players growing up. it was horrible what he had to go through and what black player go through. look what france did to their black players after the world cup
5:56
turns out someone in the stands blew a whistle (you can hear it) and he thought it was the referee so he just did whatever
not a lot of people know the real reason he did that
He failed because he thought he was better then he was. Didn't train or eat properly. Smoked in changing rooms. Set fire to his house by setting fireworks off indoors.
