VIDEO: A 10-YEAR-OLD PHIL FODEN CRITICIZED MARIO BALOTELLI’S ‘BAD ATTITTUDE’ EMERGES
A forthright 10-year-old Phil Foden gave an honest assessment of Mario Balotelli during the latter’s time at the Etihad
Footage of a 10-year-old Manchester City star Phil Foden giving his honest opinion about the attitude of Mario Balotelli has resurfaced.
Balotelli had a memorable three-year stint with Manchester City, helping the Citizens clinch their maiden Premier League title in over 50 years in dramatic circumstances in 2012.
The Italian’s maverick character saw him hogging the headlines for predominantly his off-the-field antics more than his majestic abilities on the field.
In a video posted on Twitter, the young Foden, who was in City’s academy during Balotelli’s stint with Man City, described the ex-Inter Milan and Liverpool forward as a good player with a bad attitude in an honest verdict on the Italian.
When asked for his opinion on Balotelli, Foden says: “He’s a good player but he’s got a bad attitude off the pitch” as quoted by Sports Bible.
Despite not being mentioned in the same breath as Kun Aguero, Yaya Toure or David Silva, the now Adana Demirspor centre-forward is still regarded as one of the best talents of his generation.
