 He has had an up and down World Cup so far after scoring against England and then missing a hatful of chances against Costa Rica. But Mario Balotelli’s personal life is only going in an upwards direction as is evident from new pictures of the footballer carrying his fiancée Fanny Neguesha along the beach just one day after she accepted his offer of marriage earlier in June.

The Italian star is seen wearing his national team’s tracksuit on the beach as he and Fanny spent some quality time together.
Fanny looks stunning in a tiny pair of white shorts teamed with a matching white top.
This comes after the striker paused his World Cup preparations to propose to girlfriend Fanny ahead of Italy’s clash with England in Manaus, Brazil, earlier this month.

Don't try to change Balotelli, warns Cassano



The forward insists the AC Milan man must be allowed to develop without overbearing scrutiny and admits he would relish going to the World Cup with Francesco Totti
Parma forward Antonio Cassano has warned that people must not waste time trying to change Mario Balotelli.
The mercurial striker has struggled for consistency at times this season but remains AC Milan's undisputed star under new boss Clarence Seedorf. 
 

The mercurial striker has struggled for consistency at times this season but remains AC Milan's undisputed star under new boss Clarence Seedorf.

Cassano - himself no stranger to off-the-field controversies - believes the former Manchester City man must be allowed to flourish in his own inimitable way rather than face constant scrutiny over his attitude.

"I can say only one thing: use the carrot and stick with Balotelli, and take what comes. Do not try to change him," Cassano told Corriere dello Sport.

"He's a good guy. But he is a bit like me. I was taken in the right direction, but I too did not do the right thing at times.

"However, Balotelli is what you see. Do not try to invent another Balotelli."

Cassano has been in outstanding form this season, scoring 11 goals in 26 Serie A matches for Europa League hopefuls Parma, including a double in the 4-2 win over Milan.

Encouraged by recent comments from Cesare Prandelli, who insisted he would not discount any players for his World Cup plans based on their age, the 31-year-old admits he would relish the chance to play in Brazil this summer - and believes Francesco Totti should join him there.

"I hope so [that Totti is selected," Cassano continued. He's a phenomenon. Spain, England, whoever faces Italy will be concerned by him. But I don't want to trouble Prandelli.

"I heard what Prandelli said and I was very pleased. I have to thank him. I understand that the challenge is beautiful and open.

"I am very happy because what will determine it is what happens in the field. And from that point of view I would say that I will give my all.

"It is a challenge that will allow me to start over in some ways, but also to conclude. I am a player who has had too much and on occasion thrown it away. I've always been one to do that.

"Now I have to think less about what was and more about the present. The present is what I want – the World Cup.

"Have I considered going? Sometimes I think about it. To get to the World Cup would be a success.

"Perhaps I could be decisive. To be appreciated there would be something I could keep with me for quite a while."

Cassano also dismissed reports linking him with a switch to Napoli, adding: "Napoli? I have two more years on my contract, I really want to finish my career at Parma."

The proof that Balotelli is a big-game flop for Milan

The proof that Balotelli is a big-game flop for Milan


The Italy international failed to deliver for the Rossoneri against Atletico Madrid in midweek but the statistics underline that nobody should have been in the least bit surprised


At an Italian Football Federation press conference on Thursday, the conversation, as it so often does, turned to Mario Balotelli’s state of mind. FIGC president Giancarlo Abete was asked if the AC Milan striker’s anonymity in Tuesday’s Champions League defeat at Atletico Madrid was further evidence of the forward’s much questioned mental maturity.

“I do not think that at this moment the problem is related to his attitude ... the problem is related to the expectation of a greater contribution in terms of his ability to affect the game.”

The implication was clear: Balotelli is buckling under the pressure.

Of course, it may seem ludicrous to question the big-game temperament of a player who struck two goals for Italy in an upset win over Germany in the semi-finals of Euro 2012, particularly one who has so often converted penalties with the nonchalance of someone enjoying a kick-about with friends in the park.

However, 'Super Mario' no longer seems so super, particularly against the top teams. Indeed, it is worth noting that Balotelli has notched just once in his 12 appearances to date for Milan against what could be construed as top-level opposition, namely the top five sides in Serie A (Juventus, Roma, Napoli, Inter and Fiorentina) and the Rossoneri’s seemingly perennial Champions League foes, Barcelona.

Balotelli arrived at Milanello to much fanfare last January. Given he had previously lined out for the Rossoneri’s city rivals, Inter, it felt only fitting that his first major outing the following month would be in the Derby della Madonnina. Unsurprisingly, much of the build-up focused on the former Nerazzurri starlet. There was a feeling that he was destined to score. However, try as he might, he just could not find a way past an inspired Samir Handanovic as Milan were held to a 1-1 draw.

Balotelli cut an even more frustrated figure in February's crucial clash with fellow Champions League chasers Fiorentina. Just as in the Milan derby, the only lasting mark the striker made on the game was a booking, this time for a poor challenge on Facundo Roncaglia.

Balotelli then made it a hat-trick of yellow cards in the May meeting with Roma at San Siro, though he would at least alleviate some of his frustration by netting a penalty in the following week's 2-1 win at Siena, a triumph that saw Milan pip Fiorentina to third place.

However, against top opposition this season, Balotelli cannot even be relied on to do what was once taken for granted, namely the ridiculously cool conversion of spot-kicks. Indeed, the enigmatic attacker missed a penalty for the first time in his career as Milan were beaten at home by Napoli for the first time in 27 years. Balotelli managed to beat Jose Reina in open play right at the death but there was no masking the forward's frustration and he was almost inevitably dismissed for dissent after the full-time whistle.

He has not been sent off in his eight subsequent outings against quality sides but he has collected bookings in half of those games, underlining that his mood has hardly improved in the interim, which is hardly surprising, of course, given that that consolation goal against Napoli remains his only strike against a top side since joining Milan.

In his defence, his contribution to October's 1-1 draw with Barcelona at San Siro was hindered by a thigh problem that restricted him to a cameo appearance. However, it was telling that he also started on the bench for the return clash at Camp Nou in November, Massimiliano Allegri's decision having no doubt been influenced by a wretched performance against Fiorentina four days previously in which he was lucky to have escaped with just a caution for a ludicrous challenge on Neto.


Why never me? | Balotelli has repeatedly failed to deliver in Milan's most important fixtures

Balotelli picked up another booking, as well as squandering a match-winning opportunity, in the 2-2 draw with Roma on December 16 and he saw yellow again as he once more failed to prove Inter were wrong to sell him during another dismal display against his former club just before Christmas.

And then came the breakdown at the San Paolo in February ... Substituted after 73 minutes, shortly after missing a great chance to level the game, tears began streaming down Balotelli's face. He had learned that week that he was the father of his ex-girlfriend's daughter, Pia, and it was hard not to escape the conclusion that Balotelli at breaking point, with the Gazzetta dello Sport summing up the mood of nation with the headline: "Are we losing Mario?"

It now seems that Balotelli, after taking the first step on the road to superstardom on that famous night in Warsaw, has already lost his way. Worryingly, after a second successive subdued showing against Atletico Madrid on Tuesday night, it was reported that Balotelli's team-mates were upset by his attitude before and after the game. It seems as if they are now wondering if they can never rely on Balotelli to step up when they need him most, do they really need him at all?

Mario Balotelli gets crazy new hair-do


Mario Balotelli pushed the boat out with his latest hairstyle (Picture: Twitter/@FinallyMario)

Rarely a week goes by without Mario Balotelli hitting the headlines – and not always for footballing reasons.

And this week is little different, thanks to the Italian's wacky new hair-do, which is certain to set tongues wagging.

Never one to do anything the conventional way – think 'bib-gate' or 'firework-gate' – the striker, who has been linked with a move back to the Premier League recently, is certainly not going to be seen with a run-of-the-mill short back and sides.

Just finished my hair Cut! Now going home to sleep! http://t.co/NUnt6D0eY8

But even by Balotelli's standards, this is an impressive effort.

Luckily, he appears to have a very patient barber.

Who's gonna rock this next?

Ancelotti: Balotelli is a liability

The Real Madrid coach says the AC Milan striker's volatile temperament is detrimental to his performances and can't be relied upon to lead the Italy attack

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti believes temperamental Italian Mario Balotelli is unreliable and is not a top player.

The AC Milan striker looks set to lead the line at this year's World Cup for Italy, who have major concerns over attacker Giuseppe Rossi after scans revealed there could be damage to his already-weakened knee following a challenge from Livorno defender Leandro Rinaudo.

However, Ancelotti believes the Azzurri cannot rely on the 23-year-old to lead from the front in Brazil.

"Italy's real problem is in attack, where they do not have any top players. We are waiting for Balotelli, but Balotelli is simply not consistent," he told Spanish radio station RNE.

"He is a great talent, but he can't be relied upon and can leave you down to 10 men at any moment."

The Madrid boss gave his thoughts on Italy's chances at Brazil 2014 and where the strength lies in the team.

"At the moment Italy are just behind Spain, Brazil, Argentina and Germany," he continued.

"Cesare Prandelli is trying to bring down the age of the squad, but his strength remains in the great midfield experience of Andrea Pirlo, Daniele De Rossi and Thiago Motta."

Italy open up their World Cup campaign with a clash against England on June 14.

AC Milan Striker Mario Balotelli Handed Three-Match Ban [PHOTOS]

AC Milan Striker Mario Balotelli will be absent for the club's trip to Juventus in October after the 23-year-old was handed a three-match ban for his red card against Napoli on Sunday. The Italy international angrily confronted the referee following the Rossoneri's 2-1 loss to the Partenopei, picking up a second yellow card for dissent in the process. And he has now been handed a three-game ban by the Italian football authorities, ruling him out of the showdown with the Bianconeri, as well as the clashes against Bologna and Sampdoria. "The ban was given for misconduct against an opponent and protests against the match officials as well as addressing the referee with insulting and intimidating expressions," the judge in charge explained the decision. Balotelli had an eventful game on Sunday, missing the first penalty of his professional career, but making partial amends with a spectacular consolation goal late on.
