Throughout his young career, Mario Balotelli has found more than his share of trouble for ill-advised things he's said and things he's done. But who better to understand where he's coming from than someone else who's world-renowned for egotistical quotes, glamour-model humping and antagonistic behavior like Cristiano Ronaldo?
Well, instead of defending Balotelli, Ronaldo has decided to pretend that irony doesn't exist.
From the Independent:
When asked about the 20-year-old Italy international, former Manchester United star Ronaldo said to Gazzetta dello Sport: "He is a good player but he has to speak less and play more.
"In the Premier League, if he knows how to listen and wants to learn, he could become a great player. I hope he achieves that.
"However, today he puts many other things ahead of his career and this is not good."
In Balotelli's defense, he really can't play right now due to a recurring knee injury that's keeping him on the bench, jabbering to reporters.
That aside, if anyone should know that it's possible to do other things (like underpants modeling, commercial acting and Paris Hilton) while still performing at a high level on the pitch, it should be Ronaldo. Guess not.
