    While Ibra was a bit too brazen about the interview questions, it makes sense why he feels a certain way about Balo wasting his potential.

    He knew he could really succeed at the highest level and unfortunately didn’t beyond a certain point. When you’ve been a mentor to someone you can relate to that feeling and I think Ibra was that for Balo.

    Balo is a little sensitive to the obvious truth pointed out here and is reacting.

      Balo should or COULD be leading the line for ITA as a veteran right now instead he’s playing who the fuck knows where.

        Zlatan is complete fair to say what he said. He isn’t even being mean he is just saying the truth. Mario got so many fucking chances even till he was in France he played in top teams like Nice/Marseille. Because he had such brilliance. He truly was a complete strker, he could take on his man, had height power and great finishing + creativity.

      i think Ibra was projecting onto Balotelli because Ibra himself couldn’t get passed a league win his career and could never perform in knockout stages.

      he’s probably mad that he he and his mentee are failures in a sense.

    Lol, he did not say that out of the blue. He was asked a question and he answered. Blame the journalist for starting this.

    Balotelli is insecure, what Zlatan said wasn’t an attack. It is a common assessment that most people would agree with. Balotelli was immature and undisciplined, and he didn’t reach his full potential. It’s as simple as that.
