What Mario did is no different than someone trying (and cocking up) a bicycle kick or a first time volley
The Fiver knows what it's like to make people happy. Admittedly it didn't mean to walk head-first into that glass door or trip down that 100ft well, but beggars can't exactly be choosers. To see those smiles on all those faces, well, for a brief moment life was worth living. Someone needs to remind Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini what that's like. The man who once scored a divine backheeled volley for Lazio against Parma is now like the tired parent who went through a rebellious youth but now spends his time telling his teenage son to turn that infernal racket down.
Mario Balotelli didn't mean to upset everyone. He just wanted to entertain us. But clearly this sort of frippery can't be allowed to stand because football is a Serious Business. After Balotelli tried his backheel against LA Galaxy, Edin Dzeko £27m, 21 games, seven goals shook his head, well aware a Very Bad Thing had just occurred and he'd better be wearing the appropriate expression. There's a man who knows which side his bread is buttered on. On the touchline, football's Mary Whitehouse experienced a nuclear meltdown and immediately replaced Balotelli with James Milner, who can definitely be relied upon to never even try a backheel in training, let alone when the stakes are really high, like in a pre-season friendly against a Major League Soccerball side.
"In football you always need to be professional, always serious and in this moment he wasn't professional," droned Mancini, who's so humourless he probably spends his time commenting beneath internet articles on Harry Potter about how much he can't stand Harry Potter.
