The biggest "what if..." in my lifetime. He had it all, a true natural at the game, a baller with supreme physical and technical abilities, precision, vision, power and speed wrapped up in a genetically superiror specimen. Still remember the first time I saw him play in Inter and thought to myself: this kid will outscore, dribble, perform every single top player including the two greats Leo and Cristiano IF he keeps improving. He had a good run (just look at the teams he has played for...) and I bet he doesn't feel any remorse for anything he has done simply because he did it his way, the only way he wanted to do anything. But myself (and many Italians and fans) are left wondering: what if... At the end though, I feel blessed and happy he chose football, gave me many memorable moments and jaw dropping surprises, Super Mario will enter history as a huge mystery and the leader of "what if..." players. Grazie mille Mario!!
Decade? Ever. All decades. He's only slightly behind fenomeno and Adriano as far as I'm concerned. I put him about the same as Henry, but unfocused instead of focused.
Right. Technically and Physically Top, Top. Mentally and Emotionally not even to be PRO. So in the end he had a proper career. No regrets for none. He enjoyed and gained pretty much. The fans enjoyed too each side of him being a player. Forza Mario.
Nah, there are only ever a few at a given time, especially at the top level. People were saying the same sort of thing during the seasons that most of these clips have come from. Add to that it's a stretch of maybe 4-5 seasons? You could take a few clips of Vinicus or Mbappe and make a similar compilation, not to mention all of the other similarly-styled players.
He's a student who always ranks first in class without having study because has high IQ. And suddenly destroyed in college because it turned out that only relying on IQ isn't enough
I don't think if it's character that made him not to reach at the top but it was racism which he was fighting with his behavior imagine if he could be smooth
Joker :D he can shot goal for you and you win or get red and you lose... He dont care about others that much that's why he is calm in so many of this actions even coaches.
Could have been a much more fun and interesting player to watch, still 32 years old too, with the potential he had there's a good chance he would still be a top striker at 32

@@kingsweattv2465 ¿Carecía de agilidad?, revisa al Zlatan de la Juve y el Ajax y dime si de verdad carecía de agilidad, además lo de Balotelli nunca fue la agilidad ni la velocidad, de hecho creo que Zlatan hace todo lo que vi en este video y hasta más, de Zlatan duraría horas el video.
@@sasquatchrosefarts De viejo hasta Cristiano y Messi son lentos, pero háblame del Zlatan joven, corría bastante y con gran zancada, ya en el Inter empezó a bajar su velocidad.
The kid who was never in class but still get good grades 😂
Who look this in 2024
He was a fantastic striker, ridiculous technician.

"Why always me?" - Mario Balotelli
Its almost illegal for number 9's to be this good at passing
Kane has entered the building
@dannytoots6635 kane has 0 trophies he cannot lace baloteli's boots
@@drewoyebade4458 that's not his fault 🤣🤣 he's always done his job. He isn't 11 players is he. Bayern were utterly shocking defensively last season.
@@drewoyebade4458are you tryna say baloteli is better then kane?
@@shupermario5572 yes
I mean he’s so natural.. it doesn’t feel like he’s trained. Just so natural and creative
Talent takes you to the top but Character keeps you at the top.
He had massive talent but not the character to sustain the talent.
unfortunate for him, the Italians knew how to take him down
Agree
And not the hard work
Bad lifestyle
On the contrary, the guy was hugely misunderstood.
skillful, passing, scoring, freekick, dribbling ... is this guy a 9? 🔥🔥⚽
One of his coldest finishing in this video is the one he just chest the ball into the net with a bony face😂
his penalties were unsavable
He play as midfielder too..passing are so good
Balotelli highlights just make me sad. He could've been so good.
If he was more committed and did not move between many clubs, he would have been one of the best striker in the last decade what aplayer
Decade? Ever. All decades. He's only slightly behind fenomeno and Adriano as far as I'm concerned. I put him about the same as Henry, but unfocused instead of focused.
I knew balotelli but wtf I never knew he was this good😳
The normies will always try to tell you otherwise.
Yeah he was a serious talent but he wasn’t focused
@@NikhilonYT why do you think he wasn’t focused?
@@fakephoenixprince I mean not consistent I guess one game he does something great and other game he gets a straight red card
@@NikhilonYT When’s the last time you watched Balotelli play a full season. Be honest.
If you think talent alone will get you ballon dor .Your wrong it takes discipline,attutude and determination.
A mathematical expert in the pitch🔥
Right. Technically and Physically Top, Top. Mentally and Emotionally not even to be PRO. So in the end he had a proper career. No regrets for none. He enjoyed and gained pretty much. The fans enjoyed too each side of him being a player. Forza Mario.
If only he had the strength to ignore the taunts he received each time on the field.
I gotta say I feel like we don't have as many tricksters like we did in the past
For sure bc now everyone is so annoyingly focused
It’s all about speed and strength now. You still see technical players but not the showboats like Cristiano, Baloteli, Quaresma etc.
This is the influence of tactical developments in the current era of football

Mario Balotelli is my favorite player. He was a perfect striker.
he is such a unique player. rly unqieu - i cant think of another player similar to him
Zlatan.
@@carlosemmanuelvillarreal7568same thought. Tall, strong, 5 star skill moves, good ball control, huge shot power, acrobatic, decent passing and decent vison.
Real legendary man call him 🦁
His playing style is very similar to ibrahimovic
I think he playing football not much power like Zlatan, balotelli using technique to, he can pass, long pas or finish
His right leg needs to be in a museum lmao his ability to control the ball whilst keeping momentum is crazv. Legend forsure❗️
I don't care man, I love him anyway.
Balotelli and Ibra both got the awards: Bouche d'or.
He's a student who always ranks first in class without having study because has high IQ.
And suddenly destroyed in college because it turned out that only relying on IQ isn't enough
He was more mature at 18
One of your best videos yet! What makes him stand out for me is that he's a great passer, as well as a scorer, like Messi.
incredible shot power ...
Great player respected by so many people. And then you have like the opposing Italian fans screaming absolutely racist shit at him
He's technique of shooting is something that you can't learn in football🤯
2:40
Shot power - 99
Idiots who say this guy is not massively talented is a hater if he only tried he would have won multiple ballon d ors
Awesome video
swag to 100
The awareness and the passes are not the ones of a striker/9...beautiful, God knows if this man was as focus as Messi and CR7 where he would have been
Inter Vs Rubin kazan his best gol I think, I remember that gol was a ballistic missile
SUPER MARIO 😢 THANKS for lighting up my childhood with your why always me attitude :)
1000x better than any move Messi.ever made
The most hated for no reason.
I don't think if it's character that made him not to reach at the top but it was racism which he was fighting with his behavior imagine if he could be smooth
shot wen he felt like it😭😮💨
Do this on a cb with same music 🔥🔥🔥
Cristiano Bonaldo
Pogba and balotelli lot a look alike
Joker :D he can shot goal for you and you win or get red and you lose... He dont care about others that much that's why he is calm in so many of this actions even coaches.
This is what happens when you read Zlatan's book at age 22 😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Serious talent indeed...perhaps a coach with great patience was needed to get into his head...guy don't seem to know he has got it..
This man destroyed prime Germany at the age of 21
Tremendous kick.
Could have been a much more fun and interesting player to watch, still 32 years old too, with the potential he had there's a good chance he would still be a top striker at 32
Amzing video
Keep the work up broo
i agree whit you 100%
This video showed me how great d guy was
R9 Ceiling, but his attitude 🤣
الهم صل على محمد وال محمد
Aamin
Make another video for him
With
premier league clubs
Tiro alla adriano giocate di prima alla totti ..con lui so sicuro che se viene in italia fa tra 10 12 goal
Why always me ?
Losers didn't give him.
THE NAME OF 2 MUSIC
W7W ^^ Very Nice :D
Song name?
No.
no he shouldnt, but he could've tho
Not even the top disciplinarian coaches at the time (Mourinho, Mancini and Allegri) could fix this guy up. What a waste of raw talent.
Who cares really... ? Most games are fixed. He did his thing.
Clickbait
A shame he was so lazy😢😢😢😢
stop adding music to these kind of videos, jerrrrrr
His Primetime also cannot get Ballondor level.
He is only good level player.
no ballon d'or from racist organisations
Waste of talent with his attitude so sad
What a refined technician he was, like a scientist took Zlatans ability and put it in George Weahs body
I'm not sure Zlatans body has any issue tbh
