In the aftermath of Italys elimination from the World Cup, Mario Balotelli has been made the scapegoat, with scathing criticisms from Buffon, De Rossi, Maldini and Camoranesi. And when an aggrieved racist Italian fan told Mario Balotelli that hes not Italian hence should leave Italy, Balotelli replied him thus: I am Mario Balotelli, Im 23 years old and I did not choose to be Italian. I wanted Italy strongly because I was born in Italy and Ive always lived in Italy. I was hoping for a lot from this World Cup and I am sad, angry and disappointed with myself. Yes, maybe I could have scored a goal against Costa Rica, youre right, but then what? What is the problem after that? Maybe thats what you all wanted to say? Dont blame it all on me this time because Mario Balotelli have (sic) given everything for the national team and has done nothing wrong on a personal level. So go and look for another excuse because Mario Balotelli has his conscience in place and is ready to move forward stronger than before, with his head high. He is proud to have given everything for his country. Or maybe, as you say, I am not Italian. The Africans would never heap everything on one of their brothers. Never... In this sense us blacks, as you call us, are light-years ahead. Shame isnt that you can miss a goal or run more or less. Shame is those things (Ive mentioned). Though Balotelli does silly things sometimes, but I still love this guy (oops!!!). Hes an enigma.
