Casiraghi on Inter Milan youngster Balotelli: He has a difficult personality
Italy U21 coach Pierluigi Casiraghi admits Inter Milan striker Mario Balotelli "grates" on people.
Balotelli has been the subject of numerous insulting chants, above all from Juventus fans, and the club was fined for them this week.
“It is not an issue of racism, it’s just his personality that grates on people,” insisted the Coach.
“He is often a target, in good and bad, because he is a player with a big personality. At times he does go over the top, but he is improving.
“Mario needs the patience to whittle down a few problems with his character. He is a lot better than he was, even if he still picks up a few too many yellow cards.”

true anonymous never leaves a good comment. Mario is a character which brings entertainment to calcio. If he played for your team you would love him, he jus a boy but still bring lots to inter game. If you hate, you cant be blueblack, you must be GELOSO !
Man, I hate Balotelli. He's typical. Someone says he sucks and needs to grow up, and it's suddenly racism. What a crock. Always blame racism instead of looking at what the actual problem is, YOU. This is EXACTLY why racism is rampant today, they bring it on themselves.
If you're gonna post a racist remark at least have the guts to put up who you are you little *****. I hate how people always put anonymous when they say something stupid. this website's full of em. It's probably the same person. ***** YOU ANONYMOUS. Just realize that everytime you post there are probably thousands of people who hate your ***** guts. My name is Milo and I live in Canada. Now if you're nuts enough to come looking for me then so be it. Just thought i'd tell you how I really felt after reading all your ***** stupid posts:)
