Attack MindedINFO:Balotelli is mainly a centre forward but he's able to play also as secondary striker. His professional career began in 2007 at Inter after a loan at Lumezzane. Despite his young age, he impressively scored 28 goals in 86 matches in three seasons. His time with the
Nerazzurri ended with the win of the UEFA Champions League in 2009-10. He left for Manchester City, where he didn't have a very good time but still managed to score 30 goals in 80 games in two seasons and a half. He came back to Italy on January 2013, this time at Milan. He played 54 matches and scored 30 goals with the
Rossoneri in a season and a half. After a bad experience at Liverpool and a poor comeback at Milan, he transferred to Nice, where he started to score profilically: 43 goals in 66 matches between 2016 and 2018. His following spells at Olympique de Marseille and Brescia were a flop and he signed for Serie B team Monza in 2021. He gained 36 caps for Italy, scoring 14 goals.
Balotelli's best qualities have always been speed, dribbling, technique and a powerful shot. When he played for Inter, he was a thread from the distance but he also provided several assists thanks to a good passing ability, especially with crosses either at the end of a play or from free kick and corner. He also possessed a decent heading ability. During his time at Manchester City, he played mostly in a central position but, while his long range shots were even more dangerous, he didn't score any goal with headers. Instead, he became a penalty specialist. The same can be said for his period at Milan with the addition of a good free kick ability. At Nice his assist-man quality was basically lost since he mostly waited near the opposing box in order to receive the ball, advance with it and shoot immediately or after challenging one-two defenders. He impressed a lot with his movements to the side to dribble the opponents before shooting and some of his goals came in such way. He still scored many penalties, showed again his fine heading ability and had better reaction in front of the goal.
