Mario Barwuah Balotelli's Nike match worn boots. Both boots are personalized
with "MARIA ELENA". Known for his pace and technical ability, Balotelli,
sometimes nicknamed Super Mario by commentators, can play anywhere along
the front line, preferably as a centre forward. He is a good set-piece taker and
regarded as one of the best young strikers in Italy. Balotelli received his first
call-up for the Italy senior team as part of the squad announced by new head
coach Cesare Prandelli for a friendly match against Côte d'Ivoire, the first match
after the 2010 World Cup.
