Mario Balotelli has had a blistering start to his AC Milan
career. The 22 year old forward has already scored 7 goals in his 6 Serie A
games for the Rossoneri and has helped in their rise up the table. He has also
been in good form for the National side scoring a brace in the qualifier
against Malta and a goal in their friendly against Brazil. Balotelli had become
an isolated figure at Manchester City where he had become embroiled in on and
off the field controversies and run-ins with fellow players and City manager
Roberto Mancini. This led to his £19 million move to Milan in January.
And the Italian has attributed his recent success to his new
girlfriend Fanny Nguesha. Balotelli met Nguesha late last year and the two have
been going out ever since. The happiness in his love life seems to have
directly resulted in an increase in productivity on the pitch.
“Am I in love? Yes,” Balotelli said. “She is determined,
confident and generous. In a short space of time she found herself in sync with
me.
“I could spend my whole life with someone like this. Thanks
to Fanny I have rediscovered the balance that I need in my work”, added Balotelli.
He continued: “She puts our relationship first and foremost,
so there are no distractions or rows before games. It’s not easy to be with me,
because I almost have to give up on a private life, as I am constantly exposed
to the public.”
Mario had earlier split from his former girlfriend Raffaella
Fico with whom he had a daughter named Pia.
Balotelli was cup-tied in the UEFA Champions League, having
represented City in the group stages and hence could not play for Milan against
Barcelona. He will look to re-unite with the likes of Stephan El Shaarawy and
Riccardo Montolivo at club level this weekend as Serie A action resumes with
Milan travelling to Chievo.
