MARIO LOVES HER BUT CESARE DOESN’ T LOVE HIM

Mario, Raffaella and Cesare. These aren’t the leading actors of a new Italian TV show. It isn’t a love triangle. But the three characters are anyway connected. Let’s  see why.  Mario is Mario Balotelli. He’s living a magic moment made of goals and love. From  bad boy he’s transformed into a boy in love. This seems to be Balotelli’s metamorphosis. A change that doesn’t seem  to damage his talent: In fact in the last turn of Premier League he scored the first goal of Manchester City’s 3-0 success against Blackburn after his 4 matches ban. An important  goal. The goal of his rebirth. A goal to dedicate to his girlfriend Raffaella Fico, famous in Italy for her participation at Big Brother and  for wearing a skimpy and sexy mini dress in a tv program. 

“Raffaella ti amo” was the message written on the shirt that Mario showed with pride after scoring.  A private message to show the world.  A little bit as when Balotelli showed the shirt with the writing: “Why always me?” But this time the meaning is different. Mario has gone from being  a misunderstood bad boy to a happy boy in love. A type of redemption for Balotelli due to that state of grace so typical of love. Surely Raffaella will have been happy for the free and unexpected advertisement of her name (I apologize for my lack of romanticism). But in this sentimental story there is also a black spot. There is someone  who seems not to believe in Mario’s redemption. This is Cesare Prandelli that without showing a shirt or using a message in a bottle made a warning to Balotelli through a TV interview. A threat disguised as a message. “Balotelli could be out of EURO 2012 if he continues having stupid behavior  that can damage the team”.

A direct message, clear without using periphrasis”. A message that  Balo’s  agent Mino Raiola didn’t like and he immediately replayed: “Prandelli would have done better to speak  directly with Mario and not through television” . True, but I mean, also Balotelli could say I love you whispering it in Raffaella ear or on the phone. But that’s not the point .  The fact is that Balotelli, the most promising  talent in Italy, risks his participation at the EURO2012. The problem is that Cesare Prandelli still doesn’t trust him and everyone knows that love can’t exist without trust.  Prandelli doesn’t love Balotelli. He fears being cheated.  Now it’s  Balotelli’s turn to try to  conquer the tough Cesare’s  trust after having conquered the beautiful  Raffella. It would be a shame for Italian supporters not to see Mario in EURO 2012 and also for Raffaella who in this way would lose the chance to have other love messages and more free publicity.
