WHY ALWAYS ME? LUGARD ONOYEMU. How best can one describe him? Is it the man people love to hate? Or the man people hate to love? Some say he is eccentric or “whako”, Recently, a fan even described him as a sadist, while most people simply say he is the “bad” boy of soccer. He has always come under the radar of the European Press more for the wrong reasons than for the right reasons. No gain saying the fact that sports stars like stars in any other wing of entertainment world-over virtually live their lives under press focus, but not everyone of them have it like Mario Bawa Balloteli, the rave of the moment in Italy’s national soccer team. While some people may easily get away with some misdemeanour as it were. Mario Balloteli must always get a swipe for same or lesser maters. The poor lad must have been wondering to himself “why do people misunderstand me?” “why must they pick on me all the time?” “can’t I be myself?” As if in summary of all his thoughts, he chose to wonder aloud, albeit in print form. Recently in a crunch match and one of the possible premiership winner deciding matches in Manchester City shirt, he unveiled what has now become a vogue and fashion statement on Polos and T-shirts all over town. Mario noted for strange ways of celebrating his goals, mostly by just quietly walking away without even a smile this time after netting that crucial goal which apparently he was fully prepared for, simply pulled up his top Jersey to reveal his inner shirt with this question “WHY ALWAYS ME?” without a smile as usual. In the just concluded Euro 2012, Balotelli left no doubts in the minds of fans that he is a player you must love to love despite his on-field and off-field antics. Single-handedly, he gave Italy the final ticket with a brace. If the first goal was fantastic then the second goal against Germany was something else. With a thundering shot that caught the German keeper flat-footed from outside the eighteen yard box he sealed up victory for Italy and iced it with another spectacular form of celebration.
