Mario Balotelli fools reporter with outrageous trick

JOE

Mario Balotelli has been at it again, pulling off a bluff that only he could be capable of.

When a reporter tried to interview him about his younger brother Enoch, the Liverpool striker replied that he could no longer speak Italian.

If the fact that he was raised in Italy wasn’t enough, you’d have at least thought the fact that he answered the question in Italian might have set some alarm bells ringing. Apparently not, as there was no follow-up question.

Few other players would have the palle (that’s Italian for balls, in case you or Mario were wondering) to even attempt such a stunt.

After his recent segway misadventures, we don’t blame Mario for wanting to have a laugh at someone else’s expense.
