Balotelli has played like a 30yo his entire career. You could say it's smart of him but you could also say he lacks enthusiasm for the game.
At this level of the game, that's a ridiculous assertion to make about any footballer.
What would you consider enthusiasm for the game? That he celebrates his goals by running around and sticking out his tongue? That he pounds the floor dramatically when he misses chances? What do you want to see?
He's good when you're trying to play like Italy but I'm not sure if he's so good when you're trying to be on the front foot and actually dominate opponents. In my opinion Ozil and Ramsey will be doing things that Balotelli won't know what to make of. That was the case when he played with Aguero.
Don't even know what you're trying to say here.
I disagree that he wasn't good when he played with Aguero, or that Ozil or Ramsey will be playing at a level that's beyond him. The boy is a genius as well.
