"Milan" forward Mario Balotelli, in an open interview about disagreements with Jose Mourinho and Roberto Mancini, fines, car accidents, and why he can't "just be a normal guy": "Some people don't know how to earn money themselves and therefore, they take advantage of other people to get it. Some rumors created by these people are worth a crime. Many stories about me are made up. I can say that only about 0.01% of them are true. Who takes advantage of me? Almost everyone." Asked about some newspaper headlines related to him, M. Balotelli denied rumors that he allegedly burned his house playing with fireworks or fought with a "Manchester City" supporter. However, the forward admitted that he did shoot arrows at the youth team players of the "City." Interestingly, Mario also denied the rumor that he peed on the "Milan" socks during the "Inter" team training. The player also denied rumors about receiving many fines from the club. "The only fine I have received from "Manchester City" was when we won the Premier League and, instead of celebrating the victory with the team, I went to Italy," - said the Italian. M. Balotelli, asked about former coach Roberto Mancini: "I almost don't speak with him. I did something wrong and he got upset, that's it. Who is the better coach, R. Mancini, or Jose Mourinho? As a person, Mancini, in terms of football, Mourinho." "I used to argue a lot with Mourinho, but there were also many moments when we joked and laughed. With him, we worked hard and played with a high intensity because that's what he wanted." According to the Italian national team star, he admires the game of Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Zlatan Ibrahimović the most. "Why didn't I win the Ballon d'Or award? That's my mistake. When I was a teenager, I didn't do what my peers did. I dreamt of having a nice car and a house, but sometimes you want to be a good guy, but you can't do it." "Will I become the best in the world? I hope so. But I still have a lot to improve. In my opinion, the most beautiful goal I have scored is the second goal against the German national team," - concluded the controversial footballer.
