In the big picture of life there are worse role models than Balotelli. Much worse. Balotelli faced tons of hardship and still made something of himself. It's not like he's a criminal or something. Just hope Kean picks out the inspirational stuff and leaves the bit of crazy behind.
Totally agree. Balotelli gets too much hate. There are tons of strikers we have had that I would have given away for free if balo were to come as replacement. Llorente, Amauri, Matri, Anelka, Boriello etc...
Aside to Mois Kean. This kid will turn out to be great if the below two things happen:
- Allegri leaves and a non-Italian coach comes
- He leaves boring football Italy and go to EPL
Technically he has reached top level. But mentality, motivation wise, he may risk being held back by the outdated Italian Serie A.
