Could any other debut more accurately characterize the value/risk associated with a player than Mario Belotelli's debut for Manchester City? Think about it:
1) He's talented.
He enters the game at the 57' minute. Scores a goal in the 72' minute.
2) He volatile.
2 minutes later (literally), he gets into a fight with another player in the 74' minute. Fortunate to get just a yellow.
3) He's good for one 'WTF?' each game.
Gets injured on a nothing play with two minutes left in the game where he starts to walk it off then suddenly collapses onto the ground. WTF?
What a story this kid is. All that talent. So many issues swirling over his head (Racism in Italy, playing for the National Team, a controversial past as a foster child who's still dealing with drama from his birth parents, his eccentricities.) Is there a more interesting player in Football right now? Or any other sport for that matter?
Highlights from the game:
