I was the first black man who wears jersey Italy . 'm Not angry , but my experience makes me act different from others . Try to understand me before you criticize me . " - Mario Balotelli -


 In the beginning was the best, then praises . In Euro 2012 , Mario Balotelli is a story unto itself . He successfully silenced anyone who considers himself nothing more than a tacky celebrity by scoring three goals in the quadrennial tournament .

Asilnya name is Mario Barwuah . There was no Italian blood in his body . Her parents , Thomas and Rose Barwuah , immigrants from Ghana . Balo was born in the city of Palermo , August 12 , 1990 .

Living in the land of the mediocre economic make- Balo cırcumstances parents do not know want to do anything when he was sick . Until then a decision that would change his life , published: Balo gets named foster parents Francesco and Silvia Balotelli . Of foster parents that Mario Balotelli Barwuah got the name .

Then the story Began .

Living in Italy into two sides of a coin for the Balo . We all know , black Balo . While both of foster parents are of Jewish descent . History records , a total of approximately 8,000 Jews died in the era Holocoaust Italy Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini , the fascist dictator Adolf Hitler 's ally . And do not ask how many of the blacks who were lost : even the first colonies of Italy under Mussolini was the countries in East Africa .

The reality was once making two get Balo racist insults from others . Before the 2012 European Cup starts , where the threat of racism is much higher than in Italy in the era now , Balo Vowed to "kill " anyone who acts against racist .

When the party of Italy 's national team until in Poland , they make a visit to the Auschwitz Nazi camp massacre . There Balo could not resist bitterly . Not Because he or his family have been through some dark sedarahnya with Nazis . But Because he remembered a box .

Inside the box contains letters that contain a stories that foster parents was Jewish . From the box that Balo know the background of foster parents . He found the letter- box under her bed . Since then , Balo Began to intimate the dark history of Jews who told her foster parents .

Balo actually never told this to anyone in order to keep unwanted things . But , According to a report from Radio Netherlands Worldwide , Balo ( eventually ) tell it Because it would hold sobs while in camp at Auschwitz Nazi massacre .

The news then spread . Some Neo - Nazi groups in Italy or outside Italy considers Balo - except black - , ​​also of Jewish descent . One site - extremist racist groups in Italy , Stormfront , even wrote : " Balotelli ( skinned ) black and ( descent ) Jews . He should play for Israel , not Italian " .

One of the Italian media also has recently , Gazzetta dello Sport , also made ​​a racist attitude . They draw cartoons Balotelli being hard hit ball from the top of Big Ben , like King Kong atop the Empire State Building .

Mentally strong as Balotelli but his muscles . Many times he was insulted , many times he got it anyway . For him , nothing can hinder his love of football . He Decided up to become a professional footballer . With the club Began his career in Italy , Lumezzane . Then went to Internazionale Milan . And now he is the mainstay of Manchester City .

Cesare Prandelli smitten then called him to join the Italy squad that will Compete in the 2012 European Cup . Prandelli Balo no matter how many times to do mischief off the field , problems with discipline , and Often clashed with fellow players . In short , Prandelli Believes , behind the haughty air of Balo , there will be goals that are ready to print .

And Prandelli true . Balo went on up to become the first Italian player as well as the first black player who scored three goals in the European Cup in 2012. Somewhere fascist - fascist who likes to insult when I discovered this fact .

After the match against Germany in the semifinals , where Balo scored two goals to make- Die Mannschaft lift the suitcase , he said:

" This is the best night of my life so far . "

When many players rejoice central Italy was heading the 2012 European Cup final , Balo actually went into the stands , to the two adoptive parents who watched it from the start . Balo then hugged them , cried together . Cries perhaps the most beautiful cry for him .

At the moment it's sentimental , Balo said adoptive father would bring her a chocolate during the final match against Spain . Balo gives chocolate it has Become his habit , and he hopes to make the chocolate Balo better performance .

But not all prayer is a reality . Italy 0-4 Spain denied . Balo not scoring . There was no celebration . After all , he was rarely the make after make a goal celebration . Once he once said , do not have to - have to celebrate a goal so Because "nobody mailman celebrate after dropping the letter " .

Defeated but after Italy Spain sesengukan he cried . After this Balo may understand , that the postman can also cry . However , if Balo was the postman , the adoptive parents are a pair of doves who will accompany Balo seek to address anywhere .
